Team of the week – Round 10:
15 – Ben Smith (Highlanders)
He was at his elusive best again in the match against the Brumbies and also scored a crucial try.
Bubbling under: Willie le Roux (Sharks)
14 – Cory Jane (Hurricanes)
Was one of many Hurricanes players who shined against the Lions. He was outstanding and crossed the whitewash on two occasions.
Bubbling under: Santiago Cordero (Jaguares)
13 – Matt Proctor (Hurricanes)
His explosive pace and power in the midfield gave the Lions a headache. He made a number of metres with his carries and scored a great try as well.
Bubbling under: Malakai Fekitoa (Highlanders)
12 – Kurtley Beale (Waratahs)
His vision and awareness in the Waratahs' backline was something to behold at Newlands. He scored a superb try and had a big hand in another against a strong Stormers team.
Bubbling under: Juan Martin Hernandez (Jaguares)
11 – Julian Savea (Hurricanes)
Like Cory Jane, he scored two tries against the Lions and was a menace with ball in hand every time he got the ball.
Bubbling under: Manuel Montero (Jaguares)
10 – Beauden Barrett (Hurricanes)
He had a field day with ball in hand against the Lions – his vision and distribution gave the Johannesburg side all sorts of problems at Ellis Park.
Bubbling under: Aaron Cruden (Chiefs)
9 – Martin Landajo (Jaguares)
He had a hand in two of his team's 11 tries and scored another himself. He was the heart and soul of the Jaguares' attack against the Sothern Kings.
Bubbling under: Brad Weber (Chiefs)
8 – Michael Leitch (Chiefs)
Was industrious against the Sharks and got on the scoresheet as well with a try.
Bubbling under: Leonardo Senatore (Jaguares)
7 – Ardie Savea (Hurricanes)
He was a bit quiet with ball in hand, but won four turnovers against the Lions and also showed some neat touches with his passing.
Bubbling under: Michael Hooper (Waratahs)
6 – Hendrik Tui (Reds)
He beat a number of defenders at Suncorp Stadium with his powerful carries and crossed the advantage line more often than not.
Bubbling under: Brad Shields (Hurricanes)
5 – Pieter-Steph du Toit (Stormers)
He probably played his best game of the season against the Waratahs. He broke through the Sydney team's defence a few times with his strong runs and got scored two tries as well.
Bubbling under: Will Skelton (Waratahs)
4 – Rudolph Snyman (Bulls)
The big lock was fantastic in the line-outs against the Force and his all-round performance on attack and defence was impressive.
Bubbling under: Vaea Fifita (Hurricanes)
3 – Frans Malherbe (Stormers)
He caused a few problems for the Waratahs at scrum time and was solid on defence once again.
Bubbling under: Greg Holmes (Reds)
2 – Dane Coles (Hurricanes)
We love to see this guy run with the ball and he did not disappoint against the Lions. He also tackled his heart out.
Bubbling under: Adriaan Strauss (Bulls)
1 – Reg Goodes (Hurricanes)
A prop scoring a try is a beautiful thing in rugby and that is why he is in our team!
Bubbling under: James Slipper (Reds)
