Brett is the only person to pick one player per team. He chose Pablo Mereta. Mareta made 60 tackles and 60 carries over the course of six games.

Malcolm Marx is one of the best players in the Rugby Championship. Digger picks him as one the top players. He also picks Marika Koroibete, Julian Montoya, Eben Etzebeth and Frans Malherbe.

Rob Valetini looked to have won the tournament for Australia, but Pete Samu's late-rails run took it off him. Marcos Kremer is the player of the game in Argentina. Malcolm Marx is South Africa's player.

Harry has been watching the Rugby Championship. Juan Martin Gonzalez is the player of the championship. Harry enjoyed the games in Adelaide and Sydney.

Nobes is grateful to Brett and the others for having him back on the panel for the Rugby Championship. He considers rugby a team sport and names three players per team who caught his attention.

Samisoni Taukei’aho is a complete player. Rieko Ioane established himself as a force in midfield. Jordie Barrett went from minor to major and ended up playing at a very good level in another position.

Jasper Wiese, Damien de Allende and Malcolm Marx are the best players of the Rugby Championship.

Andrew Kellaway impressed me. Pete Samu was all over the field. Rob Valetini always raised his hand asking for the ball and gaining meters.

The Thursday podcast's team for the Rugby Championship is: Brett. Marika Koroibete, Allan Ala’alatoa and Pete Samu. Rob Valetini didn't make it. Samus came off the bench for four games of the Championship and started two games. He was outstanding. He is now the favourite for No. 7 jersey. Michael Hooper is a possibility to play that position in the spring tour.

The Thursday Two-up is a list of the players of Rugby Championship. Ardie Savea, Sam Whitelock, Jordie Barrett, Richie Mo’unga and Tyrel Lomax are the three players who stood out to Digger.

Samisoni Taukei’aho is New Zealand”s player of the tournament. Rieko Ioane is a weapon with the ball at the centre. Sam Whitelock has improved over the course of this season. He has laid low any concerns about making it through to next year“s World Cup.

The Springboks player who made the biggest difference in having the same number of wins as the All Blacks was Jaden Hendrickse. He was seven years old when Frans Steyn starred at the World Cup in France in 2007. Hendricksse is a big nine, six feet tall and 90 kilos after a braai.
