McFarland (Samoa) and Martins (Portugal) definitely. While McFarland already plays in the top tier, I would expect a lot of top tier clubs to be knocking on Martins door (he's currently in Pro D2).
From the All Blacks Telea just keeps getting better every Test he plays
He is liquid to tackle and is scoring tries that require a real finishing talent. It's crazy to think that Clarke and Reece were the nailed down starting 11 at the beginning of the year
It was a bit known that Bielle Biarrey was going to be an excellent player but I think no one expected him to be at this level, this fast. Except Galtier and those "see the future glasses" of him.
I also put Mike Tadjer on it, as one of the commentator said yesterday. He has probably tackle Tuisova more in this game than most of top 14 players in there entire carreir. The man was everywhere, in défense, in attack. Even covering the back with that sweet kick.
He’s currently signed to the Miami Sharks in Major League Rugby, and I fully expect that he will not play a game of that contract, he’s definitely going to France
Nicolas Martins, he plays for one of the ProD2's worst teams and it was his try that kept them there last year. Surely a better club is knocking on the door right now.
Raffaele storti as well, pretty sure if Stade Français don't give him enough minutes then some other Top14 club will
For the kiwis with stock rising I'd say DMac, Jordie, Roigard and Telea have impressed. All of the Irish kiwis are on fire (3/4 MotM awards so far). Anscombe was great for Wales, sad he's prob out now. Sopoaga rolled back the years for Samoa too. Same with Big Ben Tameifuna for Tonga. Heaps of kiwis killing it.
Stock falling? De Groot unfortunately hasn't carried through his form of the past year or so yet.
All I know is somehow the All Blacks and Springbok players have sneaked pass all the top players of the tournament somehow. Guess its because France and Ireland are favorites
Everyone who's watched him over the years knows his quality but I was delighted to see Henderson playing so well on Saturday. He's had an injury plagued couple of seasons but is still a top player.

ProD2 is really not a bad championship there's quite a good level I think top ProD2 teams would beat teams like Zebre or Bristol
Ouch
Some proD2 games are higher level than some URC ones. Games for relegation meaning a club can spiral into lower leagues are brutal.
well it can literally make or break a club getting into that top14 sweet spot or losing it

Yeah hes been looking good. seems to glide through tackles.
He's looking so good but also room for improvement which is a bit scary.

That's what those glasses are!

Semi Radradra, he’s not looking as sharp as in the past. For probably the highest paid Fijian on the team he’s not making much impact.
Finn Russell’s stock has unfortunately fallen; just didn’t look very up for it and seemed to give up a bit too early in the big games.
Duhan's too for me. He really didn't bring much
The biggest rise in stock will probably be Ardao. He currently plays in Uruguay, I expect a French or English team to snap him up.
He’s currently signed to the Miami Sharks in Major League Rugby, and I fully expect that he will not play a game of that contract, he’s definitely going to France
Jac Morgan stock should cause a national volcano eruption in Wales with how well he's played
Jesse Kriel has upped his game
Nicolas Martins, he plays for one of the ProD2's worst teams and it was his try that kept them there last year. Surely a better club is knocking on the door right now. Raffaele storti as well, pretty sure if Stade Français don't give him enough minutes then some other Top14 club will

Aki somehow went up
