South Africa

A young fly-half whose goal-kicking is already an asset. Francis scored eighteen points in the 2025/26 Challenge Cup — a try, five conversions and a penalty at a 67 per cent kicking rate — alongside 106 metres from twenty-five carries, one clean break, five defenders beaten and thirty-three passes. Thirteen tackles at 68 per cent. Twelve matches across three competitions. At twenty-three, the combination of kicking accuracy and willingness to carry is a strong platform.
