Round 6 of the Top League provided fans with a riveting mix of bruising defensive efforts and scintillating attack. The most noteworthy individual defensive effort came from Honda Heat number 8 Paul Schoeman who amassed a staggering 34 tackles against Shining Arcs.

Amanaki Mafi was in typical barnstorming form, making a massive 27 carries. Takaaki Nakazuru racked up 155 running metres for Suntory Sungoliath.

Taumua Naeata was a fleet-footed forward this round, managing to beat 11 defenders. Kazuki Himeno hustled in the rucks, completing 4 turnovers for Toyota Verblitz.

Seiya Ozaki and Takaaki Nakazuru (Suntory Sungoliath), Malo Tuitama (Yamaha Jubilo) Ataata Moeakiola (Kobe Steel) all succeeded in executing five clean breaks.
