Who do you think were the best players in Round 18 of Super Rugby?
Australian players dominated the Super Rugby Team of Round 17 on <a href="http://www.testrugby.com">www.testrugby.com</a>. It could be because they are playing in better conditions than the New Zealand teams or because the Australian conference is the weakest, but whatever it is, they provided eight players including the highest scoring player this week, Stephen Moore. New Zealand and South Africa contributed two players each. Jarrod Saffy was the bargain of the week, while it is worth picking players for next week who will be around in the finals to save transfers. James O'Connor has been banned for one week and won't be playing next week.
