4. Blaine Scully.
One of the most decorated US Eagles. Always pushing for growth and development as a player. There's not many Americans that have spent time at Welford Road. Ripped his hamstring in his final game, against Tonga at the RWC, having scored two tries the previous games.

Tied 1st.
Mamuka Gorgodze. We all remember his World Cup MVP performance against the All Blacks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fhFeE90NLk. He's offiically out the game After having carried Georgia for over 10 years.
