SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Dave Attwood (Bristol Bears)
- 5. Vaea Fifita (Wasps)
Coventry Live on Fifita: “Defensively he was aggressive and accurate and also made a couple of lovely line breaks too. He pinched a Bath lineout and was all over Ollie Fox from one ruck closer to the Bath line.”
Bristol Live on Attwood: “The Bristol co-captain finished as his side’s top tackler with 22 without error as he put in an almighty shift again.”

- 6. Jackson Wray (Saracens)
- 7. Brad Shields (Wasps)
- 8. Fitz Harding (Bristol Bears)
Coventry Live on Shields: “After his 21-game streak in the starting line-up came to an end against Saracens, the skipper returned with a freakish shift with and without the ball. His 21 tackles made was the most of any player on the pitch, with so many of them being dominant collisions too.”
Bristol Live on Harding: “The dynamic number eight set up the Bears’ fifth try for Harry Thacker’s with a strong burst at the edge of a ruck, taking an inside ball from the hooker before shrugging off an attempted tackle and getting his arms free to give the ball back to the frontrow for a try with just his second touch of the game.”
