Super Rugby Team of the Week- Round Six
Scrumhalf
9. I'm starting to think Will Genia always starts his season quietly and then builds up like the Roy Orbison song 'Running Scared'. Or a more recent pop hit, for you young'uns. (Getty)
Loosehead prop
Should Pek Cowan be a Wallaby again this year? He's the form loosehead right now. (AAP)
Hooker
Tatafu Polota-Nau takes on opposition players head-on, which explains why he gets concussed so often. The good news is he's seemingly figured out how to make tackles while retaining consciousness this year. (Getty)
Tighthead prop
3. When you consider yourself an advocate of Sekope Kepu, it's really discouraging to see Ben Alexander playing really well, week after week. (Getty)
Lock
4. I actively considered photoshopping a Viking helmet on Scott Fardy's head this week, because he was just berserk on Saturday. But I don't approve of such frivolity. (Getty)
Lock
5. The crowd at NIB Stadium was insanely loud this weekend, which is why Sam Wykes looks like he doesn't know what he just agreed to. (AAP)
Blindside flanker
6. He's already a crowd favourite with Tahs fans, as their mild, slightly cynical applause indicated on Friday. Once they can pronounce his name, Jacques Potgieter will be a real star in NSW. (Getty)
Openside flanker
7. Matt Hodgson made more turnovers than a CWA committee at an apple festival. Yes, that pun is laboured, but no-one laboured harder than Hodgson against the Chiefs. And yes, that pun is also laboured. (AAP)
Number Eight
8. Ben Mowen is the second Australian Number 8 this season to set up a try with a perfectly weighted kick. What's next? Flyhalves making tackles? (AAP)
