The Crusaders continue to dominate on the field and have four players in the testrugby.com Team of Round Five, but who else made the cut?
The Crusaders continue to dominate Super Rugby proceedings with another convincing win and their sensational midfield of Robbie Fruean and Sonny Bill Williams are dominating the http://www.testrugby.com/ points. They are joined by Israel Dagg and Kieran Read in the Team of Round Five. The Reds won easily against the lowly Rebels which helped relative no names Michael Harris and Adam Wallace-Harrison make the Team of Round Five. Rebels could struggle this season. The upset wins by the Force and Cheetahs left egg on the face of pundits and Waratahs fans booing, but thrust Rayno Barnes and Cameron Shepherd into notoriety. According to http://www.jimungo.com/ only 0.22% of pundits backed the Cheetahs by 13 and over. The Sharks tight five is well represented in the Team of Round Five despite losing, while Adam Thomson continues to impress even when the Highlanders lose. Who would have picked two reserve inside backs to be the top points scorers in that position? Who do you think was the best player in Round Five? You should be in Super Rugby Team of Round Five?
