Round seven saw plenty of try scorers reach the Team of the Round.
The Team of Round Seven Super Rugby action based on www.testrugby.com points is dominated by players who scored at least one try. This week the combination of the Crusaders bye and the close, tight matches mean't that there are several new names in the Team of the Round. Doubles by Jason Rutledge and Sarel Pretorius catapulted them into the Team of the Round, while only Keven Mealamu, Liam Messam and Luke McAlister didn't score tries. The poor goalkicking probably cost the owners of Matt Giteau and James O'Connor their usual bumper crop, although they were both still rewarded with good amounts of points.
The beauty of the team of the round is the range of player values of players with nearly half the team worth under $1 million.
