James Hook wears the No 10 jersey in our team of the week while Chris Robshaw continues to impress. There are also spots for regulars Nathan Hughes and Alun Wyn Jones. 15. Charles Piutau (Wasps)Piutau was one three Wasps players to score two tries in their sides 64-23 thrashing of Saracens at Allianz Park. The full-back dotted down in the third minute before adding a second-half effort to complete a fruitful shift in a Wasps jersey, but it was not only his finishing that caught the eye. Charles Piutau was ruthless for Wasps at Allianz Park Piutau made over nine metres with each carry of the ball and beat three defenders at Allianz Park. The New Zealand intentional was also in the top five for individual metres made by both sides on the day, with 55m to his name. 14. George North (Wales) George North scored the try that sealed victory for Wales With Wales holding onto a slender lead against Scotland it was George North who provided a moment of brilliance that allowed the home side to seal a 27-23 win against a resurgent Scottish side.North took the ball off a switch from Dan Biggar and danced past a series of desperate defenders before dotting down for the decisive score. It capped off an influential performance from the winger, who carried eight times for Wales and beat eight tacklers with ball in hand.13. Jonathan Joseph (England) Jonathan Joseph scored three tries to quieten calls for Elliot Daly Joseph was under a great deal of pressure from Elliot Daly for the England No 13 berth, and faced the task of keeping new Italian sensation Michele Campagnaro quiet in Rome.The battle between the two raged for just over 50 minutes before Joseph intercepted a pass to cross for a try under the poles - his first of three tries on the day. His finishing for the third try showed immense power to add to the vision and speed for the second as he helped England to a 40-9 victory over Italy.A special mention goes to Campagnaro for his part in what was a close affair until Josephs initial score.12. Jamie Roberts (Wales) Jamie Roberts scored the try that gave Wales the lead in Cardiff Another position where the two of the top contenders came up against each other. Duncan Taylors try in the 79th minute showed superb speed, but it was Roberts who put Wales in the lead in the 63rd minute when the game was in the balance.Typically, there was nothing subtle about his try. The Harlequins man ran a clever angle to cut across the defence as they spread to cover the threat and muscled over with a leg-drive from close range. All in all Roberts carried eight times for Wales and put in nine tackles in defence - the most of any of the home-side backs.11. Tommy Seymour (Scotland) Tommy Seymour scored an early try against Wales It was not a very easy afternoon in Cardiff for the winger as his side struggled to stamp their mark on the game, but in terms of individual performances Seymour will surely be satisfied.His try in the 13th minute rounded off a good team effort, and the way he retreated to disrupt the ball at the ruck after Tom James almost ran in for the score showed his attitude to the Scottish cause.10. James Hook (Gloucester) Gloucester fly-half James Hook scored a try against Harlequins It was an indifferent day with the boot for the 81-Test international but a convincing performance with ball in hand. Not only did the fly-half score a try, but he was tied at the top for defenders beaten by Gloucester attackers, and made 40 metres in his eight carries.Without the ball Hook was level with Ben Morgan for the most tackles by a player from either team, halting 12 ball-carriers as Gloucester managed to stop Harlequins from scoring a try in the 28-6 win at Kingsholm.9. Dan Robson (Wasps) Dan Robson was one of three players to dot down twice for Wasps There was a good No 9 performance from Conor Murray in a losing Ireland side in Paris, but Robson set the tone for Wasps humbling of the defending Premiership champions in their own backyard.Robsons service was exemplary, and he was heavily involved in the tempo set by Wasps, which allowed them to bully Saracens. The scrum-half scored two tries, turned the ball over twice and made almost seven metres per carry when running with the ball.1. Rob Evans (Wales) Rob Evans carried well, but it was his scrumming that gets him the team of the week Wales comeback in Dublin on the opening weekend of the Six Nations was credited to the dominance up front, but there were those who questioned whether there would be a repeat of that ascendancy with the dependable WP Nel lining up at tighthead prop for Scotland.As it was, the Welsh scrum maintained their impressive form to set up their first win of the campaign, led by Evans in the No 1 jersey.2. Davide Giazzon (Italy) Davide Giazzon impressed despite only playing for one half The replacement only featured in the second half in Rome but made an impact in that time. Englands lineout faltered throughout but Giazzon showed them how its done, with 11 out of 11 throws finding their way to Italian jumpers.The hooker also put in nine tackles as England surged into the game after the break, putting him in the top three overall for Italy despite not playing the whole game.3. Rabah Slimani (France) France prop Rabah Slimani (left) impressed as a replacement Plenty was made of Guy Noves bringing two new props into his starting line-up, but Slimani made a positive impact when he came off the bench in the 45th minute.The pressure told during a series of scrums under the Irish poles, which could easily have led to a penalty try had Maxime Medard not dotted down from close range.4. James Craig (Northampton Saints) James Craig led the Northampton maul Craig was a key cog in a dominant Saints maul. He finished one driving maul and helped win a penalty try from another as Saints romped to a 35-7 win over London Irish.He was another who did the basics of the set piece right, ensuring he was reliable in the lineouts and a force at scrum-time.5. Alun Wyn Jones (Wales) Alun Wyn Jones once again led from the front for Wales Jones is starting to become a veteran of the team of the week. The Welsh second rower made 13 tackles in Cardiff, two of which resulted in turnovers, and he also caused havoc in the set piece when he stole two lineouts on the opposition throw.It may have been North and Roberts who crossed for the five-pointers, but it was the unsung work of the forwards that ensured Scottish defenders were weary and on the back foot when the time came to strike.6. Chris Robshaw (England) Chris Robshaws performances have improved since losing the England captaincy Irelands CJ Stander was once again a pest at the breakdown and carried selflessly for his side, but another hard-working day at the office for the former England captain sees him in our team of the week. He joined George Kruis at the top of Englands tackle charts with 13 hits, and also managed to cause a turnover.Robshaw has shown great character in the way he has dealt with the transition of losing the captaincy and his performances have continued to improve.7. George Smith (Wasps) George Smith kept the Saracens defence guessing at Allianz Park A special mention goes to Tom Wood, who was ferocious in defence and excellent in attack. He made one good break and showed an astute offloading game, but for his part in the victory over Saracens, Smith is in our side.The former Wallaby made a complete nuisance of himself throughout the encounter just by doing the basics right. Smith was in the top five for carries with the ball and tackles made by an individual player from either side.8. Nathan Hughes (Wasps) Nathan Hughes gave Eddie Jones food for thought against Saracens In a game in which many impressed, its hard to imagine that someone would stand out as much as Hughes did at Allianz Park.The No 8 was top of the combined standings for carries (16) and metres made (105) with the next-best being the 65m made by Josh Bassett.Hughes beat seven Saracens defenders and also put in seven tackles on the opposition. Another player who will have caught the attention of Eddie Jones.Now have your say… Tell us what you think by sharing your comments below or alternatively, why not Tweet us @SkySportsRugby?

CHICAGO -- Tom Ricketts was walking back to the owners meetings Wednesday when he was stopped by a few people on the street, eager to congratulate him on the Chicago Cubs World Series title.Such is life for Ricketts these days. It has been two weeks since the franchise won its first championship since 1908, and the party is still going strong.Its great. I mean the teams a member of the family for a lot of folks, Ricketts said, and the fact that we had this kind of success after all these years of not quite getting there is just magical for this whole city.Ricketts will be acknowledged by his fellow owners for the title at some point during the meetings, but otherwise its pretty much business as usual. Asked whether he might be handed a few more bar tabs as a result of the historic championship, a grinning Ricketts responded: Well see tonight.Among the steak dinners, drinks and hallway chatter at The Drake in downtown Chicago, the dominant item on the owners agenda is baseballs collective bargaining agreement, which expires Dec. 1. Negotiators for owners and players have been meeting since spring training.Baseball has not had a work stoppage since 1994-95, and Commissioner Rob Manfred appears confident there will be an agreement by December.I trust the commissioner, trust the commissioners office, New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said. Theyre going to do a great job, and everybodys been working hard. Thats about all I could add.Some of the major issues include the owners desire for a draft of international amateur players, the luxury-tax threshold and whether there will be changes to the draft-pick compensation system for premier free agents.The uncertainty surrounding the CBA could affect free agency and trade talks, but Steinbrenner made it sound as if the Yankees are pretty set about their plans no matter what happens with the labor talks.I dont think its going to impact it much as far as where were going to be, Steinbrennner said.ddddddddddddI mean weve got money coming off the payroll for the first time in a few years, and were going to put a decent portion of it back into the club, like we always do. How much remains to be seen, depending on what our needs are and whats available.The Yankees traded slugger Carlos Beltran and relievers Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman in a rare pre-deadline sell-off on their way to an 84-78 record and a fourth-place finish in the AL East. Steinbrenner reiterated his desire to get under the luxury-tax threshold, wherever it lands with the new agreement, but he mentioned upgrading the bullpen as a priority.That could lead to a reunion with Chapman, who saved 20 games for the Yankees before helping the Cubs win the World Series.Look, anytime you can get a guy thats already proven he can play in New York ... its a tough place to play and if you can get a guy thats proven he can play there, then thats a plus, Steinbrenner said.Everyone is chasing the Cubs after they won a major league-best 103 games and the franchises third championship. But winter also is the season for stadium renovations, and the Yankees and Cubs are both working on construction projects.Yankee Stadium is getting more social gathering places, and the club also is enhancing its facility in Tampa, Florida. Wrigley Field is getting what Ricketts called a home plate club of premium seats, similar to other stadiums, but nothing as dramatic as when the jumbo videoboards were added to the iconic ballpark for 2015.Now it really is primarily about rebuilding the park and adding bathrooms and adding points of sale and doing all the little things to make it not only the park you would want to watch a game in, but one that serves as then like a modern park, Ricketts said.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
