Super Rugby Pick of the Week - Round 8

Super Rugby Pick of the Week - Round 8

Another action packed rugby weekend kicks off tomorrow as the Chiefs host the Crusaders in Hamilton. Ahead of that, here’s some of the best tries from last weekend’s Super Rugby, as picked by Rugbydump.

Last week the tries package went down quite well, with a few that many of you seemed to really enjoy. This week, Round 8, we’ve got even more great tries. In fact some were left out as time got quite tight, including Adam Thomson’s double for the Highlanders against the Cheetahs.

Philip Burger’s try from that game is in though, a great effort from the Bloemfontein men despite going down narrowly on the road again. Their fellow countrymen, the Bulls, took an even bigger hiding at the hands of the Crusaders, who totally dominated the defending champs.

Drew Mitchell scored two fantastic tries for the Waratahs against the Force, showing that he’s one of the best finishers in the game when put in space, while the Sharks proved too good for the Lions in Durban, scoring a few free flowing tries themselves.

For the Brumbies Henry Speight showed his finishing prowess with a great try, while Aaron Cruden’s effort against them was quite unique, yet highly effective and very nicely done.

It’s another good round with plenty of entertaining rugby for you to enjoy.
