Round 9

Rising Star

It was a good week for Buenos Aires and part of that is because the nomination this week goes the way of Angus Brayshaw who made a strong contribution of 107 to help his team to a hard fought victory this week.

Team of the Week

The big news this week is Seoul finally getting a contributor. Not only that, but their sole contributor Patrick Dangerfield pumped out the biggest score of the round to captain this week's side. Other points of interest are Rory Laird and Alex Fasolo being the only two Pacific players to make the best this week which has reflected in their spot in this team while Mitch Wallis stood up for Buenos Aires and Dayne Beams continues to be the shining light in what has otherwise been a disastrous season for Cairo. There was also a new ruck this week, with Nic Naitanui getting the honours.

D: H.Shaw (New York), R.Laird (Pacific), L.Hodge (PNL), A.Fasolo (Pacific)
M: P.Dangerfield (Capt, Seoul), N.Fyfe (Berlin), M.Wallis (Buenos Aires), D.Beams (Cairo)
R: N.Naitanui (Moscow)
F: L.Franklin (Dublin), J.J.Kennedy (New York), R.Gray (Moscow), B.Deledio (Mexico City)
I: T.Cotchin (Cape Town), B.Ebert (Mexico City)

Coach: JROO8 (Mexico City)

Round 10

Rising Star

Another Rising star nomination is heading London's way, with Billy Hartung picking up the nomination for this week. He was the best of the non-centurions with a 91 in his team's losing effort.

Team of the Week

This was a fantastic week for the Team of the Week. We've got new faces, familiar ones and most importantly, Shane Mumford got his rightful place as the ruck, but with Sam Jacobs snapping at his heels for a spot on the interchange. New Delhi also had two contributors, with Andrew Gaff and Koby Stevens putting their hands up. Hard luck story of the week comes from France where coach Hellopplz is a cruel mistress having Justin Westhoff be first emergency. The coach of the week honours went to Purple 77, who almost certainly will not want to give that position up.

D: D.Rampe (London), H.Taylor (Beijing), R.Laird (Pacific), S.Higgins (Cape Town)
M: C.Ward (Moscow, Capt), M.Murphy (Rio, Vice Capt), J.McVeigh (London), B.Ebert (Mexico City)
R: S.Mumford (Cairo)
F: T.Mitchell (Pacific), D.Martin (Dublin), K.Stevens (New Delhi), L.Jetta (Berlin)
I: A.Gaff (New Delhi), S.Jacobs (Rio)

Coach: Purple 77 (Berlin)

Round 11

Rising Star

Buenos Aires are getting another reason to celebrate with Nick Graham scoring 101 to take out this week's honours. He becomes the third nominee for this award for the Argentinians. Tom Boyd scored more this week, but found himself in the reserves rather than Seoul's seniors so missed out.

Team of the Week

The honours were spread across the board again with Tokyo, Buenos Aires and PNL having contributors which hasn't happened too often this season. Nat Fyfe the captain is nothing new and the three rucks (one playing as a mid - the modern game everyone!) making the side this week. Coach of the week is none other than wannabe Santa himself - Hellopplz!

D: C.Enright (PNL), H.Shaw (New York), T.McDonald (Dublin), G.Ibbotson (Tokyo)
M: N.Fyfe (Capt, Berlin), B.Stanton (London), M.Wallis (Buenos Aires), P.Cripps (Rio)
R: N.Naitanui (Moscow)
F: D.Martin (Vice Capt, Dublin), C.Wingard (PNL), N.Riewoldt (Mexico City), B.Deledio (Mexico City)
I: T.Goldstein (Dublin), M.Blicavs (Cape Town)

Coach: Hellopplz (PNL)
