It is interesting to see the atrong South African connection in the Team of the Round this week, despite them only having two victorious teams.
Super Rugby Round Three Team of The Round has an interesting look about it with so many players from South African teams, despite only two South African teams winning. The interesting thing is that the dominant New Zealand teams only had four players in this team, the Crusaders only had one player in this team, while the Force and the Lions who both lost at home, had two players each in the Team of the Round.
The breakdown of the Team of Round Three
South Africa 6
Australia 2
New Zealand 4
Other points to note -
Adam Thomson is in dominant form along with Kade Poki. Will the Highlanders revival continue?
Tony Brown and Rene Ranger just missed out on the Team of the Round, despite starting from the bench.
The top five outside backs were all from New Zealand teams that won. It must be a style thing.
I have run out of trades and foolishly transferred out Dean Fourie (the best lineout forward in the game) for Stephen Moore and can't bring him back.
Three teams have the bye this week, so don't buy any Waratahs, Bulls or the Reds.
I was really hurt by the Crusaders vs Hurricanes cancelled match earlier this season and this means that I am stuck with Kane Douglas in my team this week, when the Waratahs aren't playing. I also can't buy Robbie Fruean and Sonny Bill Williams who will dominate the Brumbies this week.
