Round 6 of the United Rugby Championship delivered some outstanding individual performances. How many of them were included in your fantasy line-up, though, and could you now be persuaded to make changes?
We take a look at the best players by position from the weekend’s matches, with each side afforded a maximum of three representatives in the final XV.
An ever-reliable performer, Bulls captain Coetzee scored his side’s bonus-point try as well as making a match-leading 10 successful carries and five defenders beaten. The Bulls also ran in five second-half tries on their way to a 44-22 win at Benetton, with forwards accounting for four of them. Louw crossed for the Bulls’ second, crashing under the posts after 50 minutes. The third Vodacom Bull included is Ruan Nortje who scored the Bulls’ opener early in the second half, providing the spark the Bulls needed to go on and claim a bonus-point victory.
