Americas Rugby 2022 *** All-Stars ***

Who were the best players from the Americas in 2022? That is the subject matter of this article. There were many stand-out players from the region in 2022. There were players that impressed in professional competitions, others on the international stage and some impressed in both.

This article identifies the Americas Rugby All-Stars for the year 2022. That is to say the best player per position. Every player involved in the professional leagues in the Americas was considered as were all Americas players based abroad. In addition, every player capped by a country from the Americas was considered.

Two names who did not play test rugby in 2022 merit attention. Titi Lamositele was a standout for Montpellier; yet, the Washington state native did not make an appearance for the USA. Former Canadian captain Tyler Ardron continues to be Canada’s leading player but has stepped away from the test arena.
