Everyone is saying the same thing about Fraser McReight
Wallabies flanker Fraser McReight has drawn comparisons to an all-time great after the 22-19 loss to Ireland where he produced a stunning display.
After missing most the Rugby Championship due to injury, the Wallabies key man returned for two clashes against the All Blacks and his continued his form through the Autumn internationals.
McReight's performance against Ireland has stunned the rugby world for a "Pocock-esque" display where he dismantled Ireland's ruck, one of the best possession teams in world rugby.
The world has woken up to McReight's greatness after he snatched five turnovers in one game against one of the best in the world. Irish analyst Murray Kinsella detailed the stats behind his showing where he finished with 21 tackles.
McReight has claimed back-to-back Super Rugby Pacific player of the year awards for the Reds and his dominant club form is now translating to the highest level.
With Michael Hooper retiring the Queensland openside has seamlessly taken over as Australia's No 7, and might now be the world's best openside.
Ahead of the November internationals, McReight was already top five in disrupted attacking rucks, averaging 2.3 per 80 mins.
