Scotty Donaldson looks at the Super Rugby Round 8 Team of the Round which features some new players including Tom Taylor.
The Super Rugby Round 8 Team of the Round includes a split of players from the three nations involved and a new www.testrugby.com
stud and bargain in Tom Taylor who single handedly scored more points
than Stormers on Saturday night. Taylor is the son of former All Black
Warwick and kick brilliantly against the Stormers.
What is funny
about the Team of Round 8 is that it includes so many new names and you
wonder what is in the water in Durban when they can start a hooker as
good as Craig Burden when the awesome Bismarck du Plessis is injured.
Other random bargains to make this team include Scott Fardy and David
Dennis who made it because of scoring tries, yet Chiefs prop Sona
Taumalolo narrowly missed selection despite scoring two tries.
Some more regular players to make include Sonny Bill Williams, Stephen Moore and Aaron Cruden.
The
Chiefs, Brumbies and Sharks all benefitted from their high scoring wins
over teams with generous defence and made up the majority of the team
of the round.
Remember that the Cheetahs, Force and Lions all
have the bye next round, however they don't have any players in this
team of the round.
Super Rugby Team of Round 8 by country
South Africa 4
Australia 4
