The curtains closed on the fourth round of the PREM season, unleashing a slew of standout performances and setting the stage for the latest Team of the Week. From Noah Caluori's record-shattering display to Tommy Freeman's full-back masterclass, the weekend was a showcase of raw talent and rugby prowess.
Tommy Freeman of Northampton Saints dazzled from the full-back position, clocking 138 metres on 16 carries and crossing for a try, in a display that underlined his claim to the number 15 jersey. Meanwhile, on the wing, Saracens' Noah Caluori delivered a jaw-dropping performance, bagging five tries, a whopping 233 metres from 17 carries, and beating 13 defenders. "A generational talent, who will only get better," praised commentators as Caluori dominated at the StoneX Stadium.

Centre Henry Slade from Exeter Chiefs commanded the midfield with a solid 23-point haul and a crucial assist, showcasing why he's a must-watch player ahead of the Autumn Nations Series. Owen Farrell continued to shine for Saracens, his strategic playmaking instrumental in their victory.
On the flank, Kalaveti Ravouvou of Bristol Bears added to his highlight reel with two tries from just four carries, proving yet again the lethal edge he brings to the Bears' attack. Sam Worsley, also of Bristol, steered his team with remarkable composure, nailing seven conversions.
Emerging talent Charlie Bracken at scrum-half added zest to Saracens' gameplay, his swift passes and tactical nous beyond his years. Tom Willis, despite looming news of his departure, displayed trademark aggression and skill, likely leaving Saracens fans lamenting his upcoming exit.
In the pack, Ethan Roots of Exeter Chiefs bulldozed through the opposition, earning the Man of the Match with his relentless energy in tackles and turnovers. Maro Itoje of Saracens was imperious, his all-round game pivotal in their commanding win. Joe Heyes of Leicester Tigers dominated in the scrum, proving a formidable force against his direct opponents.
Rounding out the front row, Gabe Oghre of Bristol Bears made his mark with two tries and a robust defensive performance, while Nicky Smith of Leicester Tigers dominated the scrum, pushing back seasoned pros with apparent ease.
This weekend not only highlighted the emerging talents and seasoned professionals in the league but also set a high bar for the upcoming rounds, promising more thrilling rugby action as the season progresses.
