Here it is – the G&GR writers’ Super Rugby team of the week for round 4.

Some sharp play, but who makes the team this week?

The veteran gave young Sam Talakai a few lessons in the dark arts. Industrious around the paddock also.

Scrummaged well, tackled well, threw into the lineout well. Very Stephen Moore-esque game all around!

Was solid at scrum time and good around the park. Even bagged himself a meat pie! Mmmm pies……

A couple of line breaks, an offload, hit plenty of rucks and mauls. Even bagged himself some meat..

Scored his first Super Rugby try. Made great use of his massive frame, hitting rucks and shifting bodies

He only played half a game but all of the other 6’s playing for Australian teams aren’t eligible for this one!

Ran, tackled, ran some more, offloaded, hit some rucks. Is there anything he can’t do?

Most runs and most rucks/mauls out of both Australian derbies . Says it all really.

General around the field, communicated well with his forwards and gave good service to his backs

Scored 18 of the Waratahs 23 points.

Scored an excellent try and was busy most of the night.

He wasn’t flashy but it was hard to fault his performance. Put on some great hits in defence!

This was my first player picked. Didn’t put a foot wrong, filled the rather large void left by Adam Ashley-Cooper superbly.

Despite some dud kicks, he still had a good game, summed up by his solo try where he ran 80m untouched.

Second highest run meters for the Brumbies. When he wasn’t running he kicked well.
