The South African sides recorded another perfect round of results in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship, as three of the local teams made a strong push into playoff contention with the knock-out stages creeping closer.
It was the second consecutive weekend of four victories for the South African teams, and the Cell C Sharks, DHL Stormers and Vodacom Bulls all occupy spots in the top-eight on the standings, while Emirates Lions helped their compatriots with a superb 23-21 win over Irish giants Munster on Saturday
Therefore, it was no surprise that the competition for places in our URC Team of the week was extremely competitive.
