My Take
Malcolm Marx is genuinely one of the most exciting hookers in world rugby, and I think he doesn't get quite the mainstream recognition he deserves outside the hardcore rugby community. Born in Germiston, Gauteng, and coming through the Golden Lions system, he burst onto the international scene with the Springboks and won SA Rugby Men's Player of the Year in 2017 — which, given how stacked South African rugby is, is no small thing. What makes him stand out is that he's a hooker who can actually carry ball and operate in open play like a loose forward, which is a rare combination at that level. His move to Kubota Spears in Japan's League One showed his ambition too. Whenever the Springboks are clicking, you can usually feel Marx somewhere in the middle of it.
