WXV Rising Star and Team of the Week 2017

[Purple 77]

Forgot the summary, but the most important thing to note is a certain coach who shall not be named rested the top scoring defender this week.

I swear I didn't think he'd do that well!

Round 6

Rising Star

It's another triumph for Moscow who have their second nominee in a row. This week it is Tim Taranto with a quality 86 that managed to beat out the rest of promising youngsters around the world.

Team of the Week

Where do we even start?! The man they call GAJ does what only he can while Charlie Dixon just got himself out of next week's training session and a trip to the local brewery. Dylan Roberton continues to prove he's arguably the best defender in the world and Callum Sinclair turned up out of nowhere to show that he's no slouch at rucking. Shoutout to Ben McEvoy who helped keep up the trend of two rucks making the team of the week as well.

M: Gary Ablett Jr [c] (Rio), Scott Pendlebury (Toronto), Marcus Bontempelli (Pacific), Rory Sloane (Dublin)

Only injury will stop young Jacob from taking this out!
