Here's RUCK's team of the week for gameweek 1.
GAMEWEEK ONE RESULTS:
Premiership Team Of The Week: Gameweek One
#BACK-THREE:
- 15. Charles Piutau (Bristol Bears)
- 14. Louis Rees-Zammit (Gloucester)
- 11. Adam Radwan (Newcastle Falcons)
Bristol Live on Piutau: "The new Tongan international full back was Bristol’s most dangerous threat in the backline as he handed off players, stepped them or simply ran over them."
#CENTRES:
- 13. Sam James (Sale Sharks)
- 12. Lennox Anyanwu (Harlequins)
#HALFBACKS:
- 10. Charlie Atkinson (Wasps)
- 9. Ben White (London Irish)
#FRONT-ROW:
- 1. Ellis Genge (Bristol Bears)
- 2. Charlie Claire (Leicester Tigers)
- 3. Patrick Schickerling (Exeter Chiefs)
Bristol Live on Genge: "Dream debut stuff with a try in the first 90 seconds of his homecoming, breaking the tackle of Josh McNally before racing in from 30m out, dummying the final defender and celebrating on his way to the line. Well and truly living up to the massive hype."
Devon Live on Schickerling: "The match-winner himself. Electric from the moment he came on, carrying fantastically and stabilising Exeter’s scrum woes."
#SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Chris Vui (Bristol Bears)
- 5. Jonny Gray (Exeter Chiefs)
#BACK-ROW:
- 6. Dave Ewers (Exeter Chiefs)
- 7. Ben Curry (Sale Sharks)
