Team of the Tournament – TRC 2013
It’s time to decide who the best of the tournament was. There were some obvious choices, and some not so obvious ones, but perhaps not enough All Blacks?
Team of the Week
Plenty of great individual performances this week made it fairly easy to pick a team. Most came from the big game, but a couple Wallabies and a Puma made it.
Wallabies Save Best For Last
The Pumas confounded once again by playing below their abilities, while the Wallabies rebounded with their best performance of the tournament. Decent game, but not at all what was expected.
Quick Picks
The final week of the Rugby Championship is here, and it will take a mighty effort for the Springboks to wrestle the All Blacks from the top of the table.
Team of the Week
Some good performances this week made some choices difficult, but again there is no room for any Australians. Many of these names could reappear in the team of the tournament!
In Review
A beat down in Cape Town, and a good game in La Plata. The All Blacks wrapped up the tournament, but the Pumas still have a shot at third place.
Quick Picks
The penultimate round of the Rugby Championship is on deck this weekend, and sees the return of a couple veterans, and the addition of a couple newbies. Predictions are ahead!
Team of the Week
It wouldn’t be far-fetched to just pick the All Blacks in their entirety for this week’s selection, but there were in fact some very strong performances among the other sides.
In Review
A tale of two games – one full of drama and intrigue, the other plodding and uninspired. Little changed in the grand scheme of things, but an upset seems imminent.
Quick Picks
The battle for world supremacy, at least according to the IRB rankings, takes place in Auckland. The winner takes the spoils. In Perth, meanwhile, Australia have it all to lose.
