Talking about Australian hookers, not Kiwi ones, obviously.

Yes. Kremer was very good, he has been in the team in recent weeks. The Jaguares were unlucky not to get more players in, granted, but they did have the easiest opponent in the Sunwolves.

Fair point, Masirewa was excellent. See him as more as a winger though, even though he played fullback against the Brumbies. He is some player, be interesting if they keep him at 15 in the future. An Aussie Super Rugby team should be snapping him up for 2020.

Savea has been one of the best players in the whole comp this season.

Badly, in my opinion. He may do as he is experienced and there is not a lot of depth.

Love the Roff! One of the all-time greats, and my personal favourites.

MATCH RESULT

Cowboys get the win 38-4. In the end it’s a blowout as North Queensland run away with it. The first 40 minutes was really tight, a real grind, but the Rhinos wilted in the second 40. This game had a bit of everything. Some good tries, a fight and a sending off. Quite action-packed. But not good from the English perspective. The gap between the NRL and Super is vast, no doubt about that.

TRY COWBOYS!

Big mistake there from Leeds, they let a Granville kcikc bounce and the Cowboys clean up. O’Neill darts over for his second try. That’s way too easy.

BIFF!

And it’s all in as James Tamou and Keith Galloway go at it, and Mitch Garbutt drops Tamoa with a huge punch!

TRY COWBOYS

Mistake from the kick off from Leeds and the Cows hit back quick three tackles. JT scrambles over for a TRY! Now it’s starting to become a bit of a blowout…

Lilley is pulled down centimetres out. Leeds roll a grubber in but the Cowboys clean it up. Danger averted.
