SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Dave Ewers (Exeter Chiefs)
- 5. Tim Swinson (Saracens)
Devon Live on Ewers: “Looked powerful and abrasive all match, he made his presence felt with some hard carries. Matched Jonny Hill’s stat of 12 tackles made and had one of those games where he popped up everywhere, particularly in defence. One of the few players to shine in the first half.
BACK-ROW:
- 6. Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins)
- 7. Thomas Young (Wasps)
- 8. Sam Simmonds (Exeter Chiefs)
Devon Live on Simmonds: “Looks as fast and as sharp as ever, showing great pace and strength with his tries. Again, this was not the type of game for him to showcase his attacking prowess, but the fact he still finished with two tries is testament to his class.”
Honourable mentions: Hanro Liebenberg (Leicester Tigers)
