Northampton Chronicle on Furbank: "Had a huge influence on this game as his fast footwork helped to set up the Hill score, and he added one of his own in the second half."
CENTRES:
- 13. Curtis Rona (London Irish)
- 12. Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester)

BACK-ROW:
- 6. Dave Ewers (Exeter Chiefs)
- 7. Sam Underhill (Bath RFC)
- 8. Billy Vunipola (Saracens)
Devon Live on Dave Ewers: "Showed exactly what this Chiefs side misses without him in a titanic return to action. Secured two crucial breakdown turnovers for his side, was a key man in Chiefs finding the gainline more regularly in the second half and worked his heart out. Best on ground in a white shirt."
Somerset Live on Sam Underhill: "I say it every time – what else should we expect? Led his side on the defensive end with 17 tackles to his name, and was a force to be reckoned with in the breakdown. He offloaded well in attack and showed off some wonderful support play to keep the flow of play going. Quite simply unsurprised that he put in another stellar showing."
Guardian on Billy Vunipola: "The No 8, who has been out since limping off at Harlequins on 31 October, turned in a man-of-the-match performance that mixed power with a deft touch. He was involved in the game-breaking try when Sale were down to 14 men, and behind by 13 points, thanks to some bone-headedness four minutes earlier from Byron McGuigan that had led to him being sent off for the second time in his career."

- 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
