Australian Super Rugby Team of the Week 2023

[RugbyReg]

Do we keep this going again? Given its a RWC year I think we focus only on Aussie eligible players in the 5 Aussie teams? I also think it should be players predominantly picked in the position they played, but happy to be out voted on that.

Also happy to coordinate.

I'll start

1 Tom Lambert (Waratahs)
2 John Ulugia (Brumbies)
3 Allan Ala'alatoa (Brumbies)
4 Nick Frost (Brumbies)
5 Jeremy Williams (Force)
6 Rob Valetini (Brumbies)
7 Ollie Callan (Force)
8 Harry Wilson (Reds)
9 Ryan Lonergan (Brumbies)
10 Carter Gordon (Rebels)
11 Corey Toole (Brumbies
12 Hamish Stewart (Force)
13 Len Ikitau (Brumbies)
14 Mac Jorgensen (Waratahs)
15 Jordan Petaia (Reds)

I haven’t been able to watch the force rebels game, can we still have input here?

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

I also think it should be players predominantly picked in the position they played

And each team named so far has included Stewart at 12 fml.

 

[Misunderstood fan]

And each team named so far has included Stewart at 12 fml.

Stewart did play at 12.

 

[Brumby Runner]

I think it is right that only those who watched every game should post. I didn't see the Force/Rebels game so won't post a team. But from the games I did see I don't understand Jordan Petaia being picked over Tom Wright who was one of the most effective players in the Tahs/Brumbies game. So much so that RA nominated him as player of the round in their TOTW.

Porecki at lock? Did he throw to himself too?

 

[Adam84]

It was a typo

It's a complicated concept, but basically those people who picked Petaia over Wright did so because they thought he played better.

I don't remember Wright doing a lot whereas Petaia, had a busier night with a load of quality touches

I'm sure lots of Tah's fans want to forget him palming Edmed and putting Lonergan under the posts.

 

[Braveheart81]

I'm sure lots of Tah's fans want to forget him palming Edmed and putting Lonergan under the posts.

I don't think this was really Edmed's fault. He was covering the outside player and Taleni Seu should have been on Wright (and had him covered) but was too slow to react.

Edmed switched once it was clear Seu wasn't going to make the tackle and got palmed off.

But yes, Wright was excellent on that play and created the try.

 

[fatprop]

I'm sure lots of Tah's fans want to forget him palming Edmed and putting Lonergan under the posts.

that was clearly his best touch, but IMHO there was more quality touches, under far more pressure from Petaia this week
