Team of the Week - Round Four:
15 - Curwin Bosch (Sharks)
He scored 21 of his team's 26 points in the win over the Blue Bulls, which included a try. His tactical kicking out of hand was also outstanding at times.
Bubbling under: Cheslin Kolbe (Western Province)
He had a few good runs against the Sharks and was also solid on defence out wide.
Bubbling under: Werner Kok (Western Province)
13 - Huw Jones (Western Province)
The youngster was WP's best attacking weapon against the EP Kings - he scored three excellent tries.
Bubbling under: Jacques Nel (Golden Lions)
12 - Clinton Swart (Griquas)
His accurate boot played an important role in Griquas' win over the Pumas. He was also quite good with ball in hand on attack.
Bubbling under: Howard Mnisi (Golden Lions)
11 - Anthony Volmink (Golden Lions)
He had a high work rate on attack against Boland and he scored one of his team's tries in the 60-12 win.
Bubbling under: Leolin Zas (Western Province)
10 - Inny-Christian Radebe (Sharks)
Controlled the game nicely against the Blue Bulls and gave his team plenty of direction on the field.
Bubbling under: Marnitz Boshoff (Golden Lions)
9 - Dillon Smit (Golden Lions)
He gave his backline some great ball to work with. He also got a five-pointer and had a hand in another.
Bubbling under: Rudi van Rooyen (Griquas)
8 - Philip van der Walt (Sharks)
He carried the ball strongly against the Blue Bulls and got his team over the advantage line on a number of occasions.
Bubbling under: Renaldo Bothma (Pumas)
He was solid on defence and also did some good things in the line-out as well. The loose forward also got over the advantage line with some powerful carries.
Bubbling under: Jannes Kirsten (Blue Bulls)
6 - Keegan Daniel (Sharks)
He tackled his heart out on defence and led by example against the Blue Bulls.
Bubbling under: Steph de Wit (Golden Lions)
5 - Ruan Botha (Sharks)
The big lock produced a great all-round performance against the Bulls. He is another who found himself on the scoresheet with a try, but he also played a big part in another score as well.
Bubbling under: Chris van Zyl (Western Province)
4 - Ruan Ackermann (Golden Lions)
He hardly put a foot wrong against Boland and looked at home in the second row. He racked up the running metres with ball in hand and was a brick wall on defence.
Bubbling under: Etienne Oosthuizen (Sharks)
3 - Pieter Scholtz (Golden Lions)
Despite scrummaging well, the prop did a lot of hard work around the park against Boland. He also showed some neat touches with ball in hand.
Bubbling under: Wilco Louw (Western Province)
2 - Frank Herne (Pumas)
He was aggressive in the physical exchanges and tackled like a demon in open play. He also scored a great try.
Bubbling under: Franco Marais (Sharks)
1 - Corné Fourie (Golden Lions)
He was the hardest working prop of Round Four. He carried the ball on a number of occasions and racked up the running metres. He also showed his commitment on defence with some big hits.
Bubbling under: Lizo Gqoboka (Blue Bulls)
