It was a busy few days of non-stop rugby action, but which 15 players make our team of the weekend?
Fullback: Telusa Veainu (Leicester Tigers)
The attacking brilliance of the Tongan was there for all to see as he touched down against Wasps. He definitely didn’t deserve to be on the losing side.
Tries from @p_betham and @tveainu not enough as Tigers’ @premrugby hopes end in late heartbreak. Report at https://t.co/kDdbhhIzWC #WASvLEI pic.twitter.com/d4akVNedt1

Wing: Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs)
As a Saracens fan I hate to say it, but I think we are watching the world’s best winger today in Jack Nowell #EXEvSAR #bbcrugby

Centre: Frances Saili (Munster)
The centre, who was named the man of the match in his final appearance at Thomond Park, darted over for the opening try in the 26th minute to help his side to the Guinness Pro 12 final.
Centre: Jimmy Gopperth (Wasps)
Jimmy Gopperth once again proved why he was the king in this season’s awards ceremonies with another influential performance. He’s quickly become a fan favourite at the Ricoh Arena!

Fly-half: Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs)
Saracen’s Mark McCall described Henry Slade’s match-swinging nudge as “one of the great kicks of all time”.

Scrum-half: Nic Groom (Northampton)
Prop: David Kilcoyne (Munster)
Hooker: Thomas Youngs (Leicester Tigers)
Prop: Samson Lee (Scarlets)
Watching the game back I thought Samson Lee was outstanding. Scrummaged really strongly with less men behind him. Also did well in loose

Samson Lee and Rob Evans were immense too, up against Lions and did a proper job, probably outplayed them easy

Lock: Joe Launchbury (Wasps)
The Wasps captain takes a deserved place in our team of the week. He may not be in the Lions squad but the way he’s playing, Eddie Jones will be thrilled to have him in Argentina.
Lock: Courtney Lawes (Northampton)
Explosive power. Rock-like stability. Imagine what you could do next. #KakariLight #NextIsEverything @Courtney_Lawes pic.twitter.com/JZn1J4gJHu

Flanker: James Davies (Scarlets)
The flanker almost broke social media with his head-turning man-of-the-match performance and the fact that he’s been left out by Wales for their summer tour.
