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?

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.
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.
The best test match of the year! Fans were treated to one of the more entertaining spectacles in recent memory as the All Blacks wrapped up the tournament in style.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
