Super Rugby Round 5 Team of the Round, which player impressed you the most?
Super Rugby XV Team of Round 5 has been named based on statistics from fantasy rugby website www.testrugby.com has named Hurricanes first five eighth Beauden Barrett as the Player of Round 5.
There were plenty of players included in the Super Rugby XV Team of Round 5 from the Hurricanes vs Cheetahs 60 - 27 result probably becauise of the lack of defence in the game. There were seven players included from this game. Johan Goosen, Phillip Van Der Walt and Alapati Leuia were also top performers from this game. The Cheetahs have the worst defence in Super Rugby and so it is a great move to select some try scorers and goal kickers from their opponents.
The Crusaders have the bye in the next round of Super Rugby, so sell your Crusaders now and buy some Cheetahs or Blues!
The Super Rugby Round 5 Team of Round 5 included eight New Zealand, six South African and one Australian player. Please note that inclusion in this is based on jersey number.
Beauden Barrett scored two tries and kicked six goals while also making three tackles, five go forwards, one turnover and line break and two lineouts.
Other players included in the Super Rugby XV Team of Round 5 include recent league convert Benji Marshall who dazzled fans with a great solo try for the Blues against the Lions. He also made three line breaks and nine go forwards.
For those playing www.testrugby.com if you backed the Hurricanes and Cheetahs players you will be in luck with half of the 12 man team playing in that match due to the open nature of it. Blade Thomson scored 350 points despite being listed at lock, while Benji Marshall played at fullback but still made the team tied with Johan Goosen for the second inside back spot. There were some bargains to make this team with Malakai Fekitoa, James Lowe (injured) and Blade Thomson all giving change from $1 million.
In the Super Rugby Team of the Competition so far there is a range of players from different teams. Bismarck du Plessis is the most owned player with 41 percent owning him, while the bargains are Blade Thomson, Marnitz Boshoff and midfield pair of Damian de Allende and Malakai Fekitoa. Some less fancied players include Force pair Ben McCalman and Nathan Charles, while interestingly both Willie Le Roux and Israel Folau are still in this team despite not making the team of the round this week.
