Aussie Super Rugby Team of the Week round 8

Here it is – the G&GR writers’ Super Rugby team of the week for round 8.

Was a bit of a low bar this week.

1. Benn Robinson Had the Canes scrum on toast together with flashes in the loose.

2. Heath Tessman Looked composed and stepped forward under pressure.

3. Paddy Ryan Solidified the right side of the Tahs scrum and hit the line at pace.

4.Hugh McMeniman Imposing as usual – the Australian community let out a howl of anguish when he went off injured.

5. Hugh Pyle A very handy all round athlete – solid in the lineout and scoring meat pies.

6. Ben Mowen Not his best, but who to choose better?

7. Michael Hooper Started to show some of what we expect, among the odd mistake.

8. Fotu Auelea Big Fots threw himself against a brick wall all night.

9. Nic White Just the one five man cut out pass for a try.

10. Bernard Foley What a break this guy has got – carved them all night.

11. Joe Tomane Rock solid under the kickoffs and strong with the ball in hand

12. Kyle Godwin Continues to show precocious talent, which the Force can’t capitalise on

13. Adam Ashley-Cooper The fend is back and milking him more tries. Visibly sharper

14. Jason Woodward Wow, this kid is sharp and knows his stuff – can’t be Australian!

15. Israel Folau Here’s one just for the Queenslanders – for such a poor player, he keeps deserving selection!
