RISING STAR: LUKE JACOBSON

Luke Jacobson captained the New Zealand Under 20s to Junior World Championship glory in 2017 to prove he has strong leadership qualities.

He’s also a talented loose forward with the ability to play at both blindside or No 8. He is a worker, a player who stays in the game and likes to keep involved any way he can. He’ll get his hands on the ball, look to carry and go forward. He’ll also make some telling tackles.
