Fiji-born France based rugby player Virimi Vakatawa has been marked as the rising star of the 2016 Six Nations championship.
Top European coaches including Ireland Coach Joe Schmidt has described Vakatawa as a player with natural power and creativity.
Schmidt says teams have to adapt to their defensive strategies to counter players like him.
Vakatawa had an impressive debut for France last weekend when he scored a try in their 23-21 win over Italy.
The 23-year-old played for Racing Métro 92 in the Top 14 between 2011 and 2013.
He then joined the French 7's team in 2014.
Vakatawa began his career in Fiji playing for Lelean Memorial School before getting recruited by Sireli Bobo to join Racing Métro 92 in 2010.
He is originally from Naluwai in Naitasiri and is the second Fijian to be part of the French rugby team after Noa Nakaitaci played for France in the World Cup last year.
Vakatawa will play for France when they take on Ireland in the Six Nations Championship at 2.25am this Sunday.
