Watch: Top 5 performers from round two of our Fantasy Rugby Championship

With fantastic rugby comes fantastic players. The Australian turnaround that almost was and a high powered South African win brought with it world class performances to boost your Fantasy Rugger scores.

It’s barely a surprise to anyone anymore when Beauden Barrett scores a match winner and does nothing wrong, but he left Australians everywhere open mouthed on Saturday, raking in a huge 27.6 points. With 2 tries and 5 conversions from 5, anyone who splashed out and had him in their team was rewarded for their investment.

The classic in Dunedin of course weighed in heavily across the board. Rieko Ioane ran 122 metres and past 10 defenders, straight into a 19.7 point hall. Ioane barreled past Will Genia for his try, but Genia and Australia did everything to fight back and he battled to the next best score amongst the backs, amassing 17.8.

While the backlines may have dominated scoring in the Bledisloe Cup encounter, the South African forwards ran rampant. Captain fantastic Eben Etzebeth led by example in defense, missing not a single tackle and garnering 15.6 points. However, despite his efforts even the captain played second fiddle to runaway man of the match Siya Kolisi who touched down for two tries and 17.2 points to put his team past the Pumas.

Before kickoff in the next round the majority of lineups will likely make like a Top 14 club and import some All Blacks, before they face Argentina at home. But with a weeks break in the calendar, Fantasy Rugger players will need the time to mull over some tough calls before the surging Springboks travel to a redemption seeking Australia.
