The four sides that were in action – the Cell C Sharks, Vodacom Bulls, Toyota Cheetahs and Emirates Lions – all suffered defeats at the hands of Australian and New Zealand opposition.
With the teams failing to launch, it is down to the individuals to supply the silver lining in terms of the statistics taken from the Vodacom Rugby App.
Lions fullback Andries Coetzee and flanker Jaco Kriel’s names crop up among the top statistics from the past weekend.
The duo were a shining light in their side’s otherwise dreadful display against the Brumbies in Johannesburg on Saturday.
Coetzee proved to be quite the dagger for the Lions to top the Defenders Beaten category with 11, with the Blues’ George Moala beating eight for the second most.
