Super Rugby Team of the Week- Round Nine
Right wing
14. Boom! Joe Tomane was overdue for an awesome game, and he got one. (AAP)
Loosehead prop
1. When you absolutely own a scrum and your side scores a try on it, it's best to look right at your opposing player when you celebrate. James Slipper knows what's up. (AAP)
Hooker
2. He usually only gets to play in the last five minutes of a match, but Shota Horie got a start this week and played like a man possessed. If the Rebels ended up winning, they would make a movie about him. (Getty)
Tighthead prop
3. He may have shaved off the best part of his face this week, but Jono Owen played his role in a meat pie this week. (Facebook)
Lock
4. When you score a try early on in the game, this is how you walk back to your own half. Scott Fardy knows what's up. (AAP)
Lock
5. Another week, another inclusion of Luke Jones. If he isn't making James Horwill sweat about his Wallabies jersey, someone is, because James Horwill sweats like crazy during games. (Getty)
Blindside flanker
6. Eddie Quirk (seen here getting punched) isn't getting a mention here because that controversial referee decision. But it's pretty impressive to take an uppercut to the guts and go on to score a try. (Fox Sports)
Openside flanker
7. When a ferocious South African man charges at you, odds are you won't look as tough as Matt Hodgson does here. Plus, he made more tackles than anyone else last week. (AAP)
Number Eight
8. I had a few comments about Ben McCalman not making the cut last week. But he sure did this week. (AAP)
