Israel Folau
Not since Jonah Lomu made his introduction to rugby union has a player made such an immediate impact on the game like Israel Folau. After turning his back on AFL in 2012, Folau decided to try his hand at rugby union by signing with the NSW Waratahs for the 2013 season. His start to his Super Rugby career was impressive to say the least, scoring a try in his first ever union match against the Reds. In his maiden year in the tournament he managed eight tries in a struggling Waratahs side that finished 9th on the overall standings. Folau impressed pundits worldwide with his performances with many tipping him for international honours.
