SA stars crack Investec Champions Cup Team of the Week

Three players from South African franchises have been included in the Investec Champions Cup Team of the Week following standout performances in Round 1.

Stormers front-rower Ntuthuko Mchunu was rewarded for a powerful display at loosehead, while his teammate Ben-Jason Dixon earned selection at flank after a high work-rate showing against Bayonne.

Sebastian de Klerk, the Vodacom Bulls speedster, claimed the left wing jersey after crossing the tryline in the Bulls’ thrilling clash with Bordeaux.

Also featuring in the XV is Kyle Steyn, the Glasgow Warriors captain, who qualifies via his South African roots and filled the right wing spot after a strong outing against Sale Sharks.

Selections were based on performance data from Oval Insights.

Keo selected his SA Team of the Week, that consist of 8 Stormers and 7 Bulls players. Sadly, no Sharks player made the cut.
