Round six of the Gallagher Premiership was breathtaking from start to finish.
From Northampton Saints thumping Worcester Warriors on Friday night to Saracens impressive bonus-point win against Wasps, the weekend action really did have it all.
But, as is tradition, the quality contributions of the weekend must be narrowed down to an outstanding team of the week.
Here’s who made the team of the week cut this week…
Premiership Round 6 Results:
- Northampton Saints 66-10 Worcester Warriors
- Exeter Chiefs 21-33 London Irish
- Gloucester Rugby 29-20 Newcastle Falcons
- Harlequins 31-17 Bath RFC
- Leicester Tigers 19-11 Sale Sharks
- Saracens 56-15 Wasps RFC
BACK-THREE:
- 15. Tommy Freeman (Northampton Saints)
- 14. Max Malins (Saracens)
- 11. Ollie Hassell-Collins (London Irish)
Northampton Chronicle on Tommy Freeman: "A special week for the talented 20-year-old as he celebrated his England call-up with two tries and two assists."
CENTRES:
- 13. Curtis Ronna (London Irish)
- 12. Andre Esterhuizen (Harlequins)
HALFBACKS:
- 10. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
- 9. Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers)
Leicestershire Live on Youngs: "Box kicked well throughout but it was his piece of magic in the 49th minute that really was the difference between the two sides. After seeing the space and calling Jasper Wiese to go blindside, he received the ball and ran a lovely line drawing in the Sale full-back before putting in Liebenberg in the corner."
FRONT-ROW:
- 1. Val Rapava-Ruskin (Gloucester)
- 2. Jamie George (Saracens)
- 3. Paul Hill (Northampton Saints)
Gloucestershire Live on Rapava-Ruskin: "Carried his form on from last week putting in an almighty shift. He scrummaged well and was a demon at ruck time, getting himself a couple of turnovers."
Northampton Chronicle on Hill : "Savoured the fact Saints had plenty of space in this game as he carried well when he got the chance, popping up across the pitch and doing his job in the set piece also..."
SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Maro Itoje (Saracens)
- 5. Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints)
BACK-ROW:
- 6. Matt Rogerson (London Irish)
- 7. Ben Earl (Saracens)
- 8. Lewis Ludlow (Gloucester)
Gloucestershire Live on Ludlow: "Once again another mammoth defensive shift from the captain, the Cherry and Whites flanker was joint-second in the tackling table with 19 tackles."

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
