In the latest revelation from the United Rugby Championship's Round Four, Munster dominates the selection post their shock triumph over Leinster in Dublin, landing five spots in the Team of the Week. Ulster, showcasing robust form, claims three spots, with the Bulls and Glasgow each securing dual representations after a weekend where the away teams seemed to steal the show.
At fullback, Ulster's Michael Lowry was instrumental in his team's win in Durban, using his agility to navigate through heavy tackles, which resulted in crucial cards for the opposition. Werner Kok, another Ulster standout, revisited his former stomping grounds at Kings Park with a vengeance, scoring a pivotal try against the Sharks.
"Hear what Ulster Rugby head coach Richie Murphy had to say following his side's triumph away to the Hollywoodbets Sharks on Saturday,"
highlights the resilience and strategy underpinning Ulster's performance.
Munster's midfield maestro Tom Farrell dazzled against an overwhelmed Leinster, a performance so compelling it earned him a long-awaited national team call-up. His teammate, Gavin Coombes, similarly seized his moment when subbed in early, his efforts igniting the Munster faithful with a celebratory fist pump despite a subsequent yellow card. Also in green, Tadhg Beirne devastated his former club Leinster, a stark reminder of the talent that once slipped through their fingers.
Glasgow's Jamie Dobie shone at scrum-half, making light work of the challenging conditions at Bridgend against Ospreys, nearly completing a hat-trick. His counterpart in the forwards, Sione Tuipulotu, after returning from the Lions tour, slotted seamlessly back into Glasgow’s lineup, demonstrating slick skills that led to a try.
Further south, Sebastian de Klerk of the Bulls orchestrated three try assists that were nothing short of artistic against Connacht, proving pivotal in their victory. In the gritty forwards battle, Bulls' Reinhardt Ludwig stood out, amassing over 20 tackles in a stalwart defensive display that anchored his team's win in Galway.
Emerging talents were not left unnoticed; Stormers' young prop Zachary Porthen, fresh from being called up to the Springboks, showed promise against Parma. Meanwhile, Morne Brandon of the Lions made the most of his brief appearance against Scarlets, scoring twice, demonstrating the impact of dynamic, opportunistic play.
The consistency of Ox Nche for the Sharks, despite their loss to Ulster, rounds out this week's standout performers, showcasing the depth and talent spread across the league.
