Thank goodness the Rugby is back after what seemed a long off season.
In keeping with tradition, Green and Gold Rugby will name a team of the week following the weekends games.
Here is this week’s team which was a tough one considering all five Aussie teams played and came away with victory but I’m sure you’ll all agree with this weeks team.
Benn Robinson
Back at loosehead in a dominant pack
Tatafu Polota-Nau
Didn’t get injured too badly
Paddy Ryan
Any prop who has a 20 metre run deserves to be in this team
Will Skelton
A man of this size bagging a meat pie is certainly going places
Kane Douglas
On the way to regaining his Wallabies second row place on Friday’s form
Dave Dennis
Lead the team well and clearly ready to fill Mowen’s boots at Wallaby level
Pat McCutheon
Proving a great backup to Hooper and would have Pocock worried
Wycliff Palu
The big unit is back. Enough said!
Nick Phipps
Provided good ball to unleash his potent backline
Bernard Foley
A try and 3 conversions will surely see him start at 10 in the Gold in 2014
Peter Betham
Showed great hands in the lead up to Alofa’s try
Kurtley Beale
The prodigal son has returned and surely has one arm back in the Wallaby jersey
Adam Ashley-Cooper
Finally back in his best position instead of on the wing
Alofa Alofa
Watch the ‘try of the 2014 season’ to see why. Should be a Wallaby by years end
Israel Folau
Everything he touches turns to Gold, even in a trial match
