Wallabies winger leads as three Australians top POTY charts

The Player of the Year votes are in from Super Rugby Pacific round four, with a number of the same players topping the charts from previous rounds.

All Blacks winger and hat-trick hero from the Blues’ win over the Crusaders at Eden Park, Caleb Clarke, is the only player to receive the full allocation of game votes, with nine.

Clarke currently sits in fourth place in the overall standings, two points in front of All Blacks teammate Quinn Tupaea, and three in front of New Zealand-born Force loose-forward, Vaiolini Ekuasi.

Leading the voting after four rounds is Max Jorgensen, who scored another two tries last weekend against the Hurricanes in Sydney.

Donaldson took home five points from their defeat against the Highlanders in Dunedin, while Cale only secured three in their narrow loss to the Reds.

“The captains and head coaches of both teams nominate their top three players from the opposing team each week, allocating three votes, two votes, and one vote, respectively.”
