Moana Pasifika No.10 Patrick Pellegrini is another one who got away from Australian rugby. The 26-year-old has been in brilliant form recently, engineering wins against the Hurricanes and Crusaders. Not bad for a former Shute Shield player who left Australia to play in England’s lower level competitions before being selected for Tonga at the 2023 World Cup.

He left for the UK after failing to crack the Waratahs, but under the tutelage of former Wales No.10 Stephen Jones at Moana Pasifika he is lighting up the competition. His kicking game is outstanding – he peeled off an enormous 50-22 against the Crusaders on Saturday – and he looms as a major threat to the Waratahs in the critical fixture in Auckland on Saturday afternoon.
