#4. Alfie Barbeary (Bath RFC)
Planet Rugby 5/10: “Only got 20-odd minutes as he was sacrificed after Obano’s sending-off. He was solid in that time making five tackles and two carries in close.”
Rugby Pass 5/10: “Cruelly plucked from the action following Beno Obano’s red card, Barbeary, in conjunction with his backrow teammates, had a sterling opening twenty minutes. His physicality and ability to get into awkward positions at the breakdown were key factors in slowing down the Saints for the first quarter.”
#5. Alex Waller (Northampton Saints)
Telegraph 4/10: “Felt the heat from Du Toit giving up a penalty, and then later was pinged for wheeling which led to Muir’s try. That said, what a great ambassador he has been for this club.”
Planet Rugby 5/10: “Had a tough old time against the superb Thomas du Toit and was eventually replaced early in the second period. A club legend, however, who retires as one of the Saints’ best ever.”
