Super Rugby Team of the Week
- 2745
Some shock results this weekend which gives a number of new players a start in the Super Rugby Team of the Week. There were however some of the old faithful performing as usual this weekend as Beauden Barrett and Lood de Jager make the side comfortably.
With just 3 tackles missed between the entire front row this weekend from the 41 attempts along with great play in the set pieces and open play, Robertson, Dixon and Tetaz cruise into our side
1. Tom Robertson
2. Ash Dixon
3. Nahuel Tetaz
A formidable lock pairing this with hard defensive contributions to add to brilliant line out and open play contributions
4. Guido Petti
5. Lood de Jager
The loose trio is made up of hard hitters that not only play well off the ball but have the ability to open the game up at a moments notice
6. Pablo Matera
7. Lappies Labuschagne
8. Akira Ioane
This half back pairing would walk into many a side but this week they both stood out for their solid performances, none more so than Beauden Barrett.
9. Will Genia
10. Beauden Barrett
Ben Lam was just pipped into the 11 jersey by Naiyaravoro who was a stand out, Beale and Thompson make up a solid midfield with a rejuvenated and brilliant Ben Smith at the back
11. Taqele Naiyaravoro
12. Kurtley Beale
13. Rob Thompson
14. Ramiro Mayano
15. Ben Smith
