France :

Francois Trinh-Duc : Probably Europe's best fly half after this year 6Nations. Only 24 and seems to be so gifted, always a pleasure to watch him playing. He's definitely someone you will have to keep an eye in the future.

England :

Nick Abendanon : Only 1m78 and 83kgs, but very talented.

South Africa : Frans Steyn. He deserves an other chance with the Bokks.
