Here it is – the G&GR writers’ Super Rugby team of the week for round 6. Western Force lost to the Highlanders on the road, The Brumbies were smashed by the Chiefs and the Rebels took the Weary Dunlop back to Mexico. But who made the team of the week?

7. Sean McMahon
Another monster game by McMahon, really raised the bar this season and will already be winning all the rewards for the Rebels this season. Special mention to Hodgson who had a good game for the Force
