4. Greg Fisilau (Exeter Chiefs) \u2014 Exeter Chiefs 24, Leicester Tigers 10<\/p>\n
Some performances don\u2019t grab headlines \u2014 they\u00a0earn\u00a0respect.<\/p>\n
Fisilau was colossal for Exeter in their win over Leicester. Huge carries, relentless work rate, dominant at the contact area and never took a backward step. The kind of No.8 performance coaches absolutely love.<\/p>\n
With England\u2019s back-row picture still evolving, Fisilau is doing everything possible to force his way into the mix.<\/p>\n
5. Tommy Freeman (Northampton Saints) \u2014 Bath 21, Northampton Saints 41<\/p>\n
This was the Tommy Freeman show.<\/p>\n
Three tries. Constant line breaks. And a masterclass in timing and movement from midfield. Many believe his future lies at centre \u2014 and after this performance, it\u2019s hard to argue otherwise.<\/p>\n
His blend of power, pace and rugby IQ makes him one of the most complete backs in the Premiership right now. If this is what he can do when Northampton click, England selectors won\u2019t be able to ignore him much longer.<\/p>\n
