Top 5 Australian Performers Super Rugby Rd 12

 Jarrad Butler 

The Brumbies flanker had a busy evening when the Brumbies faced the Lions in Canberra. Bulter was a consent threat at the breakdown and was rock solid on defence making 3 turnovers and 10 tackles - without missing a tackle. 

Although he got penalised twice Butler slowed the Lions attack down, due to his efforts at the breakdown. Despite being ineffective in the metres he made Bulter carried the ball 7 times the 2 highest total by a Brumbies forward. 

George Smith 

The veteran flanker had another superb performance this weekend, as he showed no sign of ageing as he made 18 tackles and won 4 turnovers for his side.

He had an all-round performance as he carried the ball 12 times making 26 metres in the process and passed the ball 11 times - including 1 offload. 

Richard Hardwick

Hardwick had a busy game against the Jaguares contributing heavily in his side's victory, as he carried the ball 74 metres - the 2nd highest total in the game ( Joaquin Tuculet 110metres).

The eighth man beat 5 defenders in the process and won 2 turnovers for his side. 

Eto Nabuli

Nabuli along with Samu Kerevi terrorised the Rebels defence with both players racking up 100+ metres. Nabuli picked up a try and try assist in the game while beating 2 defenders and breaking the Rebels defence line three times.

The winger was not as busy on defence making 4 tackles but failed to miss a tackle throughout the game.
