Following two local derbies where the “underdogs” gave their more favoured opponents a rugby lesson, it was no surprise that the Vodacom Bulls (8) and Hollywoodbets Sharks (4) made up the majority of our team of the week.
Following a brilliant performance by Harold Vorster, he was our player of the weekend, while Andre Esterhuizen was unlucky not to be selected, especially as we did not take into account his role as captain.
