It’s that time of the week where we compile our dream side from the weekend’s action, here is RUCK’S Autumn Nations Series Team of the Week for round one:
Autumn Nations Series Team of the Week:
BACK-THREE:
15. Emiliano Boffelli (Argentina)
Telegraph 9/10: “Excellent accuracy off the tee this year and landed six penalties, before finishing Argentina’s slick move to score their first try. One cracking catch too over Nowell’s head. Class player.”
14. Damien Penaud (France)
11. Mack Hansen (Ireland)
JOE 8/10: “Was lucky to escape injury after getting dumped on his head and neck by Kolbe and du Toit. Competed well in the air, chased hard and held his width well to be rewarded with his try.”
CENTRES:
13. Garry Ringrose (Ireland)
JOE 8/10: “Lovely aerial take that helped Ireland win an early penalty. Put in a great shift, marshalling the Irish backline in defence and making some punchy carries.”
12. Jordie Barrett (New Zealand)
Planet Rugby 8/10: “Excellent yet again. With the visitors playing a tighter game, his ballast was crucial for Ian Foster’s men getting over the gain line.”
