There were some exceptional individual performances this past weekend, making some of the selections for this week’s team very difficult indeed. Here are the fifteen that arguably impressed the most.
Samoa and South Africa book an appointment after solid wins, England cruises to a series win in Buenos Aires, and the Canadians run out of steam against Ireland in Toronto.
Now for part two. Italy, Samoa, South Africa and Scotland introduce Nelspruit to international rugby, England look to a series win in Argentina, and Canada host struggling Ireland in Toronto.
New caps, old caps, top point scorers, injuries, suspensions, and loads of squad changes. Check inside for the odds and ends that you might not have noticed from the weekend.

Now on to four more in part two. The Springboks host Italy, Tonga lines up the Canadians, England ventures to Argentina, and Ireland face an impressive Eagles lineup in Texas.
