Team of the weekend - Nov 26th
1. Mako Vunipola
Another solid performance in an England shirt for Vunipola. Did everything well around the pitch and scrummaged well against a physical Argentinian pack.
2. Ken Owens
In a lacklustre game in Cardiff, Owens stood out with a good effort at the set piece and managed to bag a nicely worked try off a maul.
3. Tadhg Furlong
2 weeks in a row for Furlong in our team of the weekend! His physicality around the pitch is quite scary, was a handful for the Wallabies
4. Brodie Retallick
Work rate was second to none against France. Tackled exceptionally around the pitch racking up 9 hits and was also a great asset at the set piece.
5. Jonnie Gray
Gray and older brother Richie both had good performances against Georgia but Jonnie just edged it for us. Becoming a real leader in the Scotland side.
6. Chris Robshaw
Gave 110% in England's gritty win over Argentina. Seemed to be everywhere on the pitch, hitting every breakdown and putting in a good shift defensively.
7. Josh Van Der Flier
A deserved MOTM award in Ireland's win over Australia. Coming in as a late replacement for O'Brien, Van Der Flier made 10 tackles and won 2 turnovers for his side.
8. Ryan WIlson
Wilson was one of Scotland's top performers in their win over Georgia. Scored a try and carried well, beating 2 defenders.
9. Vasil Lobzhanidze
A good performance from the young scrum half, scoring 2 tries. Was a constant threat against Scotland, making 46 metres and beating 4 defenders.
10. Beauden Barrett
This guy is just on another level at the moment. Another consistent performance from Barrett at the top level. Showed great instinct to score an intercept from his own 22 and always looked dangerous in the playmaker role.
11. Jonny May
Big performance again and seems to be taking his chance back in the England setup. Finished off a great try in the second half as Argentina seemed to be creeping back into the game. Made a solid 78 metres.
12. Garry Ringrose
Strong performance from the youngster, scoring a try on debut vs Australia. Looked dangerous going forward with some electric feet and also defended well, including a try saving tackle on Israel Folau.
13. Tevita Kuridrani
Another week in our team of the weekend! Showing some great form currently and managed to finish off a great try for the Wallabies against Ireland. Carried well like his usual self.
14. Nemani Nadolo
18 points for Nadolo in Fiji's impressive 38-25 win over Japan, including a try for the Montpellier man. Kicked 5/5 conversions and managed to nail a penalty too.
15. Stuart Hogg
2 tries for the full back in an outstanding performance against Georgia. Made a fantastic 147 metres going forward and was a thorn in the side of the Georgian defence.
