WXV Rising Star & Team of the Week 2015

[Nige]

Round 3

Rising Star

Tim Broomhead gets the nomination this week for the WXV Rising Star. Putting together a lovely score of 108 helped his team get over the line against the one of the competition's better sides. Beijing have even more reason to celebrate this week!

Team of the Week

PNL's Hodge gets the captain's armband with Dublin's Roughead his vice. The struggling Cape Town have two nominees including an unlikely candidate in Mark Blicavs as this week's ruck while other surprises were Christchurch's Roberton and London's Pearce. The best three contributors to team of the week notched 177, 173 and 170 respectively!

D: L.Hodge (Capt, PNL), B.Houli (Rio), G.Birchall (Dublin), D.Roberton (Christchurch)
M: L.Neale (Beijing), J.Selwood (Dublin), S.Hill (Rio), J.Watson (Dublin)
R: M.Blicavs (Cape Town)
F: J.Roughead (Vice Capt, Dublin), D.Swan (PNL), D.Smith (Pacific), D.Pearce (London)
I: T.Cotchin (Cape Town), R.Sloane (Dublin)

Coach: Holz (Dublin)

[Holz]

Blicavs I hate you. Was a disappointment.

Blicavs is about the only thing going right for us now <3

Bargain pickup for Nathan Vardy :D

Round 4

Rising Star

The honour for Round 4 head to Moscow where the beast that is Jesse Hogan claimed honours. His monster effort of 118 helped his team just scrape over the line against those pesky Brewers.

NB: Patrick Cripps and Cameron McCarthy would feel hard done by, they both didn't get named and outscored The Hulk, let's hope they can back it up if and when their coaches take notice.

Team of the Week

This is what we like to see! A nice even spread across the board with the no one club dominating the Team of the Week. Quite a number of fresh faces and a few unusual suspects, but the toast of the town will be Dublin's Todd Goldstein winning back his mantle as the top dog in the Worlds rucking department.

D: L.Picken (Christchurch), P.Seedsman (Moscow), J.Gibson (New York), S.Butler (Toronto) 
M: D.Heppell (Vice Capt, Moscow), I.Smith (Toronto), T.Boak (Dublin), D.Shiel (PNL)
R: T.Goldstein (Capt, Dublin)
F: T.Bell (Beijing), L.Dahlhaus (Tokyo), D.Smith (Pacific), S.Edwards (London)
I: N.Fyfe (Berlin), M.Rosa (New York)

Coach: Holz (Dublin)

[Nige]

4 weeks in and only one team hasn't had a Team of the Week representative yet.

That honour(?) goes to Seoul.

[Holz]

Goldy claims his rightfull spot with captaincy to boot.

[Hellopplz]

Shiel has been in the side 3/4 weeks, the exact same weeks as Goldy as well ;D.

[Memphistopheles]

Goldy claims his rightfull spot with captaincy to boot.

Snuck past Stefan Martin and Billy Longer who both scored 140 (not that Longer would have counted as we didn't play him).

Cape Town and Dublin going head to head for the best Ruck every week it seems :P

[Purple 77]

Seeing Fyfe on the bench makes me sick  :-X

Jim Stynes medallist for sure

*I haven't tallied any votes yet*

Especially with no GAJ!

Dublin will be hit with two many good players. Sloane Mundy and Goldy would bw right up there if not all being in the top 5 points scored.
