Edinburgh, Dragons, Munster & Cardiff all came away with wins tonight in 4 exciting clashes, now we take a look at the players who stood out tonight in their side's wins.
Willis Halaholo
Sarel Pretorius
The experienced scrum-half showed that he deserved his place in the starting fifteen this week. The South African was a shining light behind his powerful forwards as he threatened the Connacht defensive line himself and got his back-line moving at pace. The nine played a part in both Newport tries on the night. He pounced on an overthrow from Shane Delahunt before shipping the ball wide to Hewitt who went over for the first five pointer. He started the second from the base of a scrum and it was Hewitt again who went over the whitewash. Surely the former Free State Cheetah can’t be overlooked next week for a starting position.
