Rising Star: Duhan van der Merwe’s Unique Style Elevates Scotland’s Attack

The quest for a winger comparable to the legendary Jonah Lomu has persisted with players like Alesana Tuilagi and Taqele Naiyaravoro falling short. However, Duhan van der Merwe is emerging as a contender showcasing his prowess in Scotland’s recent Six Nations victory over England with a hat-trick.

Despite not matching Lomu’s physicality, Duhan van der Merwe’s try per game ratio surpasses many wing legends. At 28, he has potential to climb the ranks of deadliest finishers. Playing for Scotland, he’s not part of a dominant team like the All Blacks.

His unique style of scoring, demonstrated in a recent match against England sets him apart. Duhan van der Merwe’s success mirrors a modern trend where teams prioritize having potent wide attacking threats. This shift is seen in other players like Cheslin Kolbe and James Lowe.

The article also notes a spectacular try by Stade’s Peniasi Dakuwaqa emphasizing the excitement of long-range efforts in rugby union.
