Gallagher Premiership had many of their international stars back this weekend following the conclusion of the International Window. David Flatman penned his best XV which wasn’t an easy task with so many players putting their hands up in an entertaining weekend of rugby! .
Quins and Bears have their fair share of players in the XV after their impressive victories over Exeter and Tigers.
Quins forward trio of Joe Marler, Alex Dombrandt and James Chisholm where all sensational outstanding as they handed the Exeter Chiefs their first defeat of the Premiership season in London on Friday night.
Chisholm was on the score sheet as he notched the hosts’ first try, Francis Saili and Joe Marchant also went well as a centre pairing and earn a slot in Flats’ XV.
Harry Thacker went over for 2 tries against his former club and made his way into the XV of the week.
It was the Bear’s backs that really impressed Flatman, with Harry Randall, Ian Madigan, Luke Morahan & Charles Piutau getting their names on the coveted team sheet after a serious showing of attacking rugby.
Madigan was on fire with the boot, notching up 21-points, while Morahan was busy on the wing making 146m on nine carries with Piutau just behind after clocking up 103m.
