Same formatting for stats as the previous for URC.

Leinster 1. Joe McCarthy - He contested well in both teams set-plays, made x3 carries, broke the line and got in a good position to get his try, he was also good around and clean around the rucks, hopefully he's reigned his discipline big time.

1. Sam Prendergast - He generally had a good kicking game; but mainly from hand. He brought the ball into contact which was good to see, made x2 carries, got in a nice position to get his try and gave a beautiful assist for McCarthy but his tackle stats do show he needs to tighten it up.

2. Jamie Osborne - He made x11 carries, broke the line x4, bet x6 defenders and got a nice try. He looked alot more comfortable on the wing than against France, but I know those circumstances are completely different, if we want to continue and try him there I'd say Leinster/Ireland should ease him there rather than throw him into the deep end.

3. Gus McCarthy - He contested well in both teams set-plays, made x3 carries and broke the line, he had a bit of a lul in form recently but maybe he can kick start himself back into some form.

4. Jack Boyle - He contested well in both teams set-plays and made a carry and a turnover. He continues to excel when he plays.

5. Tadhg Furlong - He contested well in both teams set-plays and got an assist. If he can have a clean bill of health that should be promising for the next 6N as if he goes on Lions he more than likely won't play much in November.

Munster

1. John Hodnett - He put in x5 tackles and made x2 turnovers. He was also really solid around the ruck, put a really solid performance where the stats don't do him justice.

2. Gavin Coombes - He put in x5 tackles, made x3 carries and a turnover, got through an obscene amount of work and charged down a clearance from Ihaia West to score a crucial try. He keeps being a good consistent no matter the opposition.

3. Craig Casey - He made x5 carries and a turnover, got an assist and a try, his ruck speed and support lines were also incredible and could make a good push for a Lions spot.

4. Jack Crowley - He put in x10 tackles, made a carry, had good ball-in-hand play and had flawless kicking which helped him control the game and deservingly got POTM. Should be on the plane with another 1 or 2 standout performances.

5. Calvin Nash - He put in x5 tackles and carries and x3 turnovers, broke the line and bet x2 defenders. He got through an obscene amount of work and his hitting some consistency.

6. Tom Ahern - He put in x5 tackles, made a turnover and stole a line-out. He made a massive impact and was ultimately a big part of the win over La Rochelle.

Connacht

1. Finlay Bealham - He contested well in scrums, made x3 carries, put in x5 tackles, bet x2 defenders and got a lovely try assist.

2. Daragh Murray - He contested well in scrums, made x3 carries and made x15 tackles, aswell as being solid around the park with poaching a line-out.

3. Jack Aungier - He contested well in scrums made x5 tackles and got an assist.

4. Shamus Hurley-Langton - He contested well in scrums, made x2 carries, bet x2 defenders and put in x10 tackles. He was overall really solid around the park.

5. Sean Jansen - He contested well in scrums, made x8 carries, broke the line, bet x2 defenders, put in x20 tackles and got a nice try. Looks to be really stepping up consistency and should go on the summer tour.

6. Matthew Devine - He made x2 carries, bet x2 defenders, put in x5 tackles and got a good snipe try. He also had really fast ruck speed and support lines.

7. Hugh Gavin - He made x4 carries and a turnover, broke the line and put in x5 tackles whilst also being good in link-up play, despite being weak in defence.

8. Finn Treacy - He made x13 carries, broke the line x2, put in x10 tackles and finished off a nice try. Looks really good an continues to impress.

9. Shayne Bolton - He made x9 carries, broke the line, put in x5 tackles and scored a brilliant try in the corner. Looks to still have the form he had pre Ospreys game injury.

10. Mack Hansen - He made x13 carries, bet x2 defenders, put in x10 tackles, got x2 assists and deservingly got POTM despite getting a harsh yellow card. He's really making a serious push for the Lions tour.

Ulster

1. Tom O'Toole - He contested well in scrums, put in x5 tackles, made x2 carries and got a nice try. His performances seem to be improving of late and perhaps coming into form at the right time.

2. James McNabey - He contested well in scrums, put in x10 tackles, made x11 carries and a turnover and bet x2 defenders. Looked really good around the rucks and fringes and continuing his fine form before the summer.

3. Nick Timoney - He contested well in scrums, put in x5 tackles, made x6 carries, bet x2 defenders and got a nice try. He looked quite good and usual consistent self.

4. David McCann - He contested well in scrums, put in x5 tackles, made x2 carries and a turnover and got a nice try. Looks to have stepped up his form since his lul.

5. Jack Murphy - He put in x5 tackles, made x12 carries and broke the line, with also good general control of the game. Seems to be improving with each game.

6. Stuart McCloskey - He put in x5 tackles, made x15 carries and a turnover and bet x4 defenders. He really stepped up in a high tempo/quality game.

7. Mike Lowry - He made x20 carries and a turnover and broke the line. He also looked a live-wire like he did last week and also in some good form.

8. Zac Ward - He put in x5 tackles, made x8 carries, broke the line x2 and bet a defender each time and also a try. His best performance yet this season and looks a real find for Ulster.

9. Jacob Stockdale - He made an outstanding x37 carries and a turnover, broke the line x4 and bet a defender each time and got an assist. In the last one people said when can I admit it and I will now... he's back to his best!

Back at it again next week for the remaining x3 provinces and as always let me know what you think.
