Here it is – the G&GR writers’ Super Rugby team of the week for round 14.
A few wins and a few losses, but plenty of gutsy efforts all round. Who makes the team this week?

[one_third last=”no”]
4. Hugh Pyle
Kept up his stellar recent form, bagging yet another meatie along the way.[/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]
5. James Horwill
Plenty of good carries, he is hitting form at the right time[/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

[one_third last=”no”]
7. Chris Alcock
Outstanding in a losing effort. Beat out Hooper and Gill, which says something. [/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
8. Scott Higginbotham
Becoming a weekly fixture here. Is stepping up right when we need him, and bringing the other 14 Rebels with him.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”yes”]
9. Nick Stirzaker
A very promising outing for the young ginger. Just edged out his Rebels rival Phipps. [/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
10. Bernard Foley
A classy performance, he lifted when the pressure was on. Again. His pass to Betham was a peach.[/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]
11. Nick Cummins
The Badger is back. Bashed blokes in attack and defence, and never stopped running. [/one_third]
[one_third last=”yes”]
12. Berrick Barnes
Came on at half time and delivered one of the best performances of the year. For that he takes out the G&GR Man of the Week[/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
13. Adam Ashley-Cooper
All class.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”no”]
14. Peter Betham
Threatened with every touch, and was rewarded late in the game when he scored the clincher.[/one_third]
[one_third last=”yes”]
15. Luke Morahan
A welcome return to the fullback position, he made a big impact in a losing side. More, please.[/one_third]
