Strengths: Exceedingly versatile, Mauger has a centre's nose for the gap and often runs lines which set up opportunities for his teammates, while he can also play at fullback and perform goalkicking duties.

Weaknesses: He has a tendency to put his head down and charge at players when a touch more vision would reveal opportunities for runners out wide.
