Scottish winger whose imposing physical presence, powerful running and outstanding try-scoring record have made him one of the most dangerous ball-carriers in the Northern Hemisphere game.

Duhan van der Merwe is Scotland's powerful winger, a South Africa-born player who has become one of the most physically imposing finishers in international rugby. Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing over 100kg, his combination of extreme power and surprising pace make him almost impossible to stop in open play. His performances for Worcester, Edinburgh, and Scotland have confirmed him as one of rugby's most dangerous ball-carriers.
