UNLUCKY PICKS

POOREST PERFORMER – Frans van Wyk(STO) –6 points.

What has round 4 taught us:

1. The Rebels are not just playing well, they leading the Super Rugby table in 2018. Players like Mafi and Uelese(hooker listed as a prop) are bankers and even their young lock made it into the dream team this week. This weekend they face the Tahs who lost to the Jags, there could be a shift in who is who of Australian rugby this weekend.
2. The Lions roved that need to sometime tighten up their play. They were leading the Blues and decided to play a loose game which suit the blues. Rieko took full advantage of this. Not sure I can bring him in just for 1 week.
3. The Stormers put on a good show against the Highlanders but were outclassed. Willemse scored just over 50 points and is looking sharp and with them playing a few games at home I expect his form to continue.
4. Folau is just insane and if you don’t have him, get him or you’ll pay the price.
5. The Highlanders played extremely well, Smith gave a master class in srumhalf and Naholo showed us glimpses of his skills and still made 68 points, I think he’ll be doing well in the next few weeks despite the tougher opposition.
6. Jordie Barret gave a solid performance, on a bye this week but I think he’s the one to bring in next week.
7. Kerevi moving to 12 seems to mean he gets involved more and his points have increased a lot. If he stays at 12 he’ll be getting a really high average this year.
8. Always and I mean always check the starting line-ups. https://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/SuperRugby/super-rugby-weekend-teams-20180116-2
9. The Sharks did ok against the Sunwolves, I did expect a few more of their players in this dream team. Mapimpi and André Esterhuizen were the pick of the lot. I am a bit sour as I had du Preez at 10 and he only made 35 points, which not amazing with that scoreline…
