Players from all four home nations make this weekend’s Autumn Internationals Team of the Week – but who has made the team and who misses out.
Fullback: Rob Kearney – Ireland
Aggressive carries, still no offloads, but Joe Schmidt looks certain to bet on the veteran fullback all the way to Japan in 2019. – The Irish Times

Wing: Elliot Daly – England
Kept his head up for Lozowski’s try and took both of his very well, each time stepping in off his left foot. His dander was up after his first and he continues to grow as an international winger. – Guardian

Centre: Huw Jones – Scotland
Skinned his man for Scotland’s fourth try. Made it look easy. Threatened every time he got his hands on the ball. Runs great angles and has the ability to beat an opponent on a sixpence. A class act and one of the many reasons why no team in international rugby will be able to switch off against Scotland in the foreseeable future. – The Offside Line

Centre: Francois Venter – South Africa
Good interception and defensive work in the third minute set the tone for what was to come from Venter throughout the game. Ran straight at the line and always talking and communicating in the backline, a real defensive general. Deserved try in the 33rd minute. – Rugby365
