WP Nel is on a roll after SARugbymag.co.za readers again voted for the Scotland prop’s redemption story in a dual against La Rochelle’s Raymond Rhule.
The popularity of Nel’s tale of a career revival made it two from two, edging Rhule by 4% in the second round after dismissing Ashley Johnson in the poll series opener.
Never given a chance in South African national colours, Nel moved to Scotland in 2012 to join Edinburgh, where he racked up 185 caps complemented by 21 tries.
Watch: Griff and ready for the big time
Three years later, Nel became eligible to represent Scotland, making his debut against Italy in 2015 and has since scored three tries in 54 Tests.
But was Nel’s rags to riches story the best of the lot? Tune in next week to have your say!
