#1. Mako Vunipola (Saracens)
Sent a clear message to Eddie Jones with his dominant performance for Sarries against Newcastle Falcons. As well as being solid in the set piece and dynamic in the loose, Vunipola also grabbed an opportunist try as he took a quick tap and go penalty. His brother Billy and hooker Jamie George also impressed for the home side.
WORST PLAYERS:
#3. Ellis Genge (Leicester Tigers)
It’s fair to say the Tigers skipper grew into the game against London Irish with a couple of loose moments in the first half, including conceding a penalty that led to three points and being sent back 10 metres for some back chat. Not his finest outing with loosehead-pop rival Vunipola impressing this weekend.
