The New Zealand sides continued to show their dominance over their Australian counterparts.

Here are the top performers for Saturdays matches

Top performers

Bryce Heem - Blues v Waratahs

Scored a well-deserved hattrick. He was outstanding with ball in hand. Caused huge problems for the defence.

He beat several defenders with his pace and power. His runs and running lines just kept Waratahs scrambling on defence all evening.

Running Metres - 181

Defenders Beaten - 5

Clean Breaks - 5

Carries - 8

Luke Jacobson - Chiefs v Brumbies

He was immense today. He scored two tries, but his work with the ball in hand was outstanding.

A constant threat with his carries and ball skills around the breakdown. He took the Chiefs forward with every carry and allowed them to stay on the front foot.

He was outstanding on defence as well.

Running Metres - 74

Defenders Beaten - 4

Clean Breaks - 2

Carries - 15

Offloads - 1

Tackles - 10

Richie Mo'unga - Crusaders v Reds

Simply sublime this evening. He scored a superb hattrick. His pace of play and ability to spark something from nothing was something to behold. The Waratahs did not have an answer to the All Black no.10.

Brilliant off the tee to go with his superb attacking game that had the defence on their toes all night.
