Round three of the Investec Champions Cup is now complete, and the scores are in for those playing the Superbru fantasy league.<\/p>\n
Planet Rugby have joined up with the podcast\u00a0For The Love Of Rugby\u00a0in the ultimate fantasy league table. Joining stars like\u00a0Ben Youngs,<\/a>\u00a0Dan Cole and Anthony Watson, players can test their rugby knowledge against three of the greatest former players in the English game.<\/p>\n Before we reveal who chose wisely and who forgot to change their teams, let\u2019s have a look at which five players performed the best in round two.<\/p>\n 5 Cameron Woki \u2013 34 points<\/p>\n The French backrower has never quite lived up to the huge reputation that he came with in his younger days, but Sunday\u2019s performance against Northampton Saints showed just why he was once so incredibly revered. Three clean breaks, three tries and two turnovers won \u2013 a vital cog in Union Bordeaux Begles\u2019 victory.<\/p>\n Scoring action Starting player Player\u2019s team won Try Forwards win 20% of opposition lineouts Tackles: 1pt per 5 tackles made Ball carries: 0.5pt per 5 metres carried Clean break Defenders beaten: 1pt for every 2 defenders beaten Turnover won Penalty conceded Total 4 Nick David \u2013 39.5 points<\/p>\n A player who benefited from Harlequins\u2019 terrific victory over the DHL Stormers at the Stoop on Sunday. He scored a brilliant hat-trick, which was nothing less than he deserved, and was involved in almost every Quins<\/a>\u00a0attack, beating a game-high of nine players for 100 metres made. The only negative was the three missed tackles, but losing out on 1.5 points isn\u2019t an issue for those who secured an almost 4o point man, of which only 1% of players have.<\/p>\n Scoring action Starting player Player\u2019s team won Try Tackles: 1pt per 5 tackles made Ball carries: 0.5pt per 5 metres carried Clean break Defenders beaten: 1pt for every 2 defenders beaten Missed tackles Total 2 = Salesi Rayasi \u2013 43.5 points<\/p>\n The full-back was another one to hit the hat-trick at the weekend, as his Bordeaux side put 50 on Northampton Saints<\/a>. His first, a simple collection of the bobbling ball, his second, a result of a clever one-two with Damian Penaud, but his third, a simply unbelievable solo try that saw him glide through the Saints\u2019 defence before calmly dotting the ball over the line. He was top of the carry list, made five clean breaks for 141 metres, and beat eight players. With 66.5 points from two matches, more fantasy managers may start looking at him.<\/p>\n Investec Champions Cup Team of the Week: \u2018Maestro\u2019 stars in demolition job while \u2018top drawer\u2019 shift against Springboks\u2019 power rewarded<\/a><\/p>\n Scoring action Starting player Player\u2019s team won Try Ball carries: 0.5pt per 5 metres carried Clean break Defenders beaten: 1pt for every 2 defenders beaten Missed tackles Handling error Investec Player of the Match Total 2 =Noah Heward \u2013 43.5 points<\/p>\n It was a weekend for hat-trick heroes and high-scoring games, and Bristol Bears winger Noah Heward took full advantage of his side\u2019s 49-61 victory over the Vodacom Bulls. His first came after stepping out of a covering tackle by the Bulls winger Sebastian de Klerk, who initially looked to have caught him following an interception. His second, an acrobatic finish in the corner after receiving the ball from Richard Lane in the left-hand corner. His final try came off the back of another interception, except this time he had the pace to burn the defending player on the outside. His player of the match performance will have pleased the few who had selected him in their squads.<\/p>\n Scoring action Starting player Player\u2019s team won Try Ball carries: 0.5pt per 5 metres carried Clean break Defenders beaten: 1pt for every 2 defenders beaten Turnover won Missed tackles Investec Player of the Match Total 1 Billy Searle \u2013 49 points<\/p>\n Criminally underrated, but in fine form currently, Searle delivered yet another player-of-the-match performance. He directed his team\u2019s attack, kicked five conversions, assisted two tries and scored three. His first, an inside ball from Freddie Steward, his second, an interception that saw him run half the field, and his final, an out-of-position touchdown on the wing.<\/p>\n Scoring action Starting player Player\u2019s team won Try Try assist Ball carries: 0.5pt per 5 metres carried Clean break Defenders beaten: 1pt for every 2 defenders beaten Turnover won Missed tackles Investec Player of the Match Total Points for nominated kicker<\/p>\n Conversion (nominated kicker only) Total kicking points Total * Kicking points are only scored by your nominated kicker.<\/p>\n For The Love Of Rugby \u2013 Results<\/p>\n Moving up the leaderboard this week was everyone\u2019s favourite prop, Dan Cole<\/a>. The former Tiger had a splendid weekend, with his team earning an impressive 181.5 points. The man with future vision picked hat-trick hero Noah Heward on the wing, as well as the impressive Tom Willis on the flank. This moved him up 50 places to number 212 in the rankings.<\/p>\n Anthony Watson also had an impressive weekend, moving 39 places up to 361 in the FTLOR rankings with 166 points after choosing Tommy Reffell as his captain and Marcus Smith as his kicker.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the opposite end of the spectrum was, once again, Ben Youngs. Words need to be had with the former England scrum half after yet another sub-par performance. Never in the history of the game has a fantasy manager been sacked mid-tournament, but if this trend continues, then perhaps the board of directors will need to step in.<\/p>\n Dropping down 23 places from his already low altitude, Youngs now finds himself in 544th place following a disappointing 109-point round. The legendary nine put his trust in big-name players such as Antoine Dupont, Thomas Ramos and Louis Bielle Biarrey, but the pay-off simply didn\u2019t come.<\/p>\n Here at Planet Rugby, we stuttered with a 143.5 round after sticking with Tadhg Beirne, who gave us -4.5 points, and also leaving Nick David on the bench, while our trust was redeemed by Henry Pollock and Alfie Barbaery in the back row.<\/p>\n For The Love of Rugby fantasy scores:<\/p>\n 4 Ben Youngs \u2013 353 Join all the fun in the fantasy league\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u2013 The greatest club rugby competition in the world.
