7th - Nadir Megdoud (Bayonne)
Megdoud hasn't scored a try in 2024, he's the only player in the top 29 on this list with fewer than 1,000 mins played. However, he 'should' have scored 4.5 tries in that period. In 2023/24 he also underperfomed his Expected Tries by 4.1.

Comments
Duguivalu has scored a single try this year but we'd expect him to have scored 5.6. Incidentally, he has assisted two tries and four breaks this season in lieu of scoring tries himself. He's never been a prolific try scorer during his career at Perpignan.

The Edinburgh player has scored two tries this year but we'd expect him to have scored 6.8. In 2023/24 he made 16 clean breaks and beat 57 defenders but scored only four tries. He's been less prolific this season and scored only once.
7)
Radradra didn't score a try in 2024 but we reckon we should've scored 5.1 of them. He has underperformed his XTries total in Lyon by 4.9 but overperformed it by 0.3 when playing for Bristol Bears.
8)
Barré has scored two tries this year but we'd expect 7.3 of them. Like many on this list, he's given his chances to others. He's assisted three tries and created ten breaks in 2024. This season he's only underperformed his total by 1.1 tries.

Jaminet has scored just a single try in 2024 but should have had 6.8. Back in 2023/24 he beat 71 defenders and made 13 clean breaks but scored just a single try. Also assisted four tries.
10)
Spring has scored two tries but should have scored 8.4 tries. Across the last two seasons he's assisted 23 breaks in addition to scoring three of his own tries. Massively underrated and I expect he'll be appearing for France soon.
