Who'll be top HV for Round 8?
Okay so I love loading my backline with kickers as they generally are quite reliable for consistent averages week in and week out. Giteau and O'Connor are leading the CT rankings as an example.
But which HV to select for round 8? Carter is out, Lambie is doubtful, Colin Slade and the Highlanders are facing the Cheetahs - it could be a blowout (Chhetahs have lots of injuries, but nearly upset the Blues in Auckland), or Slade might even get replaced by Robertson after halftime. Jantjes is not really on form. Steyn and the Bulls are playing away from home, so I suspect it will be a close game but a win nonetheless for the Crusaders. Cruden and the Hurricanes have struggled so far this year.
I'd say are either Peter Grant or Quade Cooper are your best bets, maybe even Morne Steyn. The match in Cape Town will be a cracker and Stormers should eek out a win. I'm seriously thinking of Peter Grant will be this round's top HV, but who do you predict to do well this weekend?
No offence to the other HVs I have left out, but I believe one of the players mentioned here is going to have an awesome weekend. I just wished I had a fortune teller to pick one out for me! If I have left someone out who you feel is worthy please discuss :)
