Premiership team of the week: Round 4
BACK-THREE:
- 15. Max Malins (Saracens)
- 14. Facundo Cordero (Exeter Chiefs)
- 11. Louis Rees-Zammit (Gloucester)
Honourable mentions: Louis Lynagh (Harlequins)
CENTRES:
- 13. Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs)
- 12. Mark Atkinson (Gloucester)
Gloucestershire Live on Atkinson: “While the centre didn’t make a huge impact with his passing game he put in a couple of superb passes and there was none better than the bullet pass which flew off his left hand to set-up the opportunity for Rees-Zammit to finish for his second try.”
