Champions Cup XV of the weekend

Champions Cup XV of the weekend

1. Mako Vunipola



 
On some great form at the moment, continued that against Scarlets with a superb solo try.
 
 
 
2. Tom Youngs
 
 
 
Excellent at the set piece nailing all his darts at the line out. Also impressive work rate around the field.
 
  
3. Marty Moore
 
 
Came off the bench and put a good shift away in France.
 
 
 
4. Mamuke Gorgodze
 
 
By his own admission he didn't think he was man of the match but he was impressive in Toulon's win away to Sale.
 
 
 
5.  Iain Henderson
 
 
In a tight game to the Chiefs any mistakes could have been costly but Henderson was on point for Ulster with a superb defensive effort.
 
 
 
6. Peter O'Mahony
 
 
 
Had a tough job leading Munster out against Glasgow with a tough week, but he stood out in the win as his work rate was visible to see.
 
 
 
7. Thierry Dusautoir
 
 
The French veteran pulled off a stereotypical Dusautoir performance for Toulouse in their draw with Wasps. Carried well and was awesome in defence.
 
 
 
8. CJ Stander
 
 
In tough circumstances, Stander did the 8 jersey proud in an outstanding win against Glasgow. A performance Anthony Foley would have been proud of.
 
 
 
9. Morgan Parra
 
 
2 weeks on the trot for Parra in our team of the weekend, another great performance.
 
 
 
10. Dan Carter
 
 
 
Classy as ever, showed no rust coming back from injury scoring a great solo try.
 
 
 
11. Nemani Nadolo
 
 
Gave problems to Leinster throughout, with the big powerful winger scoring 2 tries.
 
 
 
12. Nick Tompkins
 
 
A late replacement in the side but slotted in well, bagging a try and as a second playmaker performed well.
 
 
 
13. Jaco Taute
 
 
 
On European debut, Taute impressed at 13 bagging a try at a sold out Thomond Park.
 
 
 
14. Charles Piutau 
 
 
In a tight game Piutau proved to be a spark to separate the pair as he tormented the Chiefs defence and eventually went on to setup Sean Reidy's try.
 
 
 
15. Jimmy Gopperth
 
 
Impressed again at full back in a tough game away to Toulouse.
