The seven players Planet Rugby will be watching in 2023: With the Rugby World Cup looming, the experienced figures hoping to make an impression.

Am is the linchpin of South Africa's defense and will be crucial to their Rugby World Cup defense in 2023. He was amazing during their run at the global tournament in 2019.

Am and Damian de Allende are a perfect midfield duo. They provide both solidity without the ball and a threat when they do have it. Antoine Dupont is the most important player for France. He was captain of the team during the Autumn Nations Series. Ollivon was also captain during that series. The Rugby World Cup begins in France in September. South Africa are defending their title. Am and De Allendre are hoping to be fit for the tournament.

France's Ollivon played well in November. Toulon man contributed to their victories over Australia and South Africa. Fernandez rose to prominence during Chile's victories against USA. He has played a lot this season but hasn't done well. Ian Foster needs to decide on his captain for the Rugby World Cup in 2023.  Planet Rugby will be watching the players from rugby in the future. They are: Olly Fernandez, Ian Fosters, Juan Manuel Vatubu,

Dalton Papali’i was given the shirt in the Autumn Nations Series after a fractured cheekbone opened the door for someone else. Cane is 30 and is the favorite to win the World Cup jersey. The fans would be furious if Caine is not brought back.
