In SA we have Habana (horrible year) and Petersen (injured) as the 2 best wingers. Mvovo and Basson are the young guns for the future. Aplon is a late-bloomer but a good winger as well.
 
Cory Jane probably has the best skill set of any winger in the world right now... Oh wait, thats coz he's a fullback! ;)
 
Active Wingers?

Hosea Gear, Sitivini Sivivatu, Joe Rokocoko, Cory Jane, Chris Ashton, Ugo Monye, Topsy Ojo, Drew Mitchell, Tommy Bowe, Bryan Habana, Shane Williams, Takudzwa Ngwenya, Vincent Clerc, Cedric Heymans, Rupeni Caucaunibuca, Serelli Bobo, Alesana Tuilagi, Doug Howlett. There are plenty more great wingers.

Julian Savea,Isreal Dagg/fullback/winger,Zac Guilford,Sean Maitland,Digby Ioane,Ben Smith,Lachlan Turner....yes there are heaps of Good wingers.
 
Zac Guilford, Ben Smith, Joe Rokococo and Sitiveni Sivivatu would have pretty good ratings considering they aren't on the national team (they've all played for the AB's but aren't currently, Guilford and Smith bith won gold at the commonwealth game sin the 7's.)
There seems to be a real log jam of wingers in NZ at the moment and they usually only select a max of 2 specialist wingers for the training squad. Julian Savea is another great player... not sure how highly he should be rated as he hasn't even played at Super Rugby level, he's kinda the equivalent of Elton Jantes - Great player at provincial level and has huge potential! guess it just depends on what date the ratings are finalized.
