Here it is – the G&GR writers’ Super Rugby team of the week for round 11.
[one_third last=”no”]
1. Benn Robinson
He’s smashing all comers in the scrum now as well as being busy around the park.[/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]
2. Ged Robinson
The nuggety little bugger enjoyed sticking it to his compatriots. Bagged a nice meatie[/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]
3. James Slipper
Made life hell for poor Tom McCartney, the Blues LHP.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
4. Hugh Pyle
The dynamism of another back row around the park. Key to bossing the ‘Saders[/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]
5. Cadeyrn Neville
A standout. Scrum went wonky on the tight head side when he left the field.[/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]
6. Jarrod Saffy
Just did not stop tackling, and then ran the most metres of all the Rebels forwards.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
7. George Smith
Yet another cracker – answered the Force’s back-row threat with ease. Next.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
8. Scott Higginbotham
Captaincy has hardened, but not taken away the freakish skills (huge left footed punt anyone?).[/one_third]
[one_third last=”yes”]
9. Will Genia
When the Reds ran out of attacking ideas, he took it on himself – literally.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
10. Matt Toomua
As good as Quade was, Matt made it happen for the Brumbies, both in attack and defence. G&GR MoTW[/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]
11. Joe Tomane
Read Toomua perfectly to time his pass and put on the gas in tight space like a good blind side winger.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”yes”]
12. Christian Leali’ifano
Injected pace, straightened, kicked, tackled. An all round performance[/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
13. Tevita Kuridrani
The ying to Leali’ifano’s yang. Showed more than just battering ram this weekend. [/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
14. Henry Speight
Must be the best finisher in Australian rugby right now, as he proved with both his tries.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”yes”]
15. Israel Folau
Just give him the ball 15m out and you’ve got yourself a try, as he proved again this weekend[/one_third]
