Super Rugby Tips looks at the Super Rugby Round 17 Team of the Round and Competition.
Super Rugby Round 17 Team of the Round features plenty of Australian players with Wycliff Palu earning the Super 15 Rugby Round 17 Player of the Round according to statistics fromwww.testrugby.com. There are nine Australian players mainly thanks to the large win by the Waratahs, while the Blues also contributed five players to the Team of the Round after thrashing the Force in Perth. First five eighth Ihaia West is amazingly good value at around $500,000. The South African teams return for Super Rugby Round 18, so you want to buy some Sharks players, but in all honesty with the finals around the corner, you are best to stock up on teams who will definitely play in the first round of the finals with 3v6 and 4v5 play. Other things to watch for, depending on how many trades you have spare is that the Crusaders are bringing back stars like Kieran Read and Dan Carter, but may only give them half a game which eats into their production and other players like Colin Slade.
It is also important to remember that the Brumbies have the bye in Round 18, while the Hurricanes have a bye in Round 19. Go on, splash out on some Waratahs and maybe think about giving Ihaia West a shot as he is cheap and on fire for the rejuvenated Blues who could actually reach the Top Six.
The Super Rugby Team of the Competition has an interesting look to it with the Blues interestingly contributing four players in Ma'a Nonu, Jerome Kaino, Luke Braid and Patrick Tuipulotu. There is a real mixture of teams represented in the Team of the Competition with.
