Super Rugby Pacific Team of the Week - Rd 4
The best Draft Rugby Fantasy Scorers for round 4 of Super Rugby
Intro
Round 4 has sent shockwaves through our fantasy leaderboards. If you weren’t backing the Reds or the high-octane backlines of the Hurricanes and Chiefs, you were likely left watching your opponent surge ahead. Let’s break down the chaos and find those hidden gems to keep your campaign on track.
Team of the Week: Round 4
1: Fletcher Newell – Prop, Crusaders (58 pts) The Crusaders’ workhorse was immense, grinding out 16 tackles and 18 ruck arrivals in his 59 minutes, proving that set-piece dominance and defensive graft are the cornerstones of a consistent prop.
2: Codie Taylor – Hooker, Crusaders (53 pts) Taylor remains a premium asset despite a mixed bag of stats. He grabbed a try and dominated the set-piece with 16 lineout throws won, though managers should note his 3 turnovers conceded as a minor knock against his efficiency.
3: Marcel Renata – Prop, Blues (50 pts) Renata was a wrecking ball at the scrum, anchoring 6 scrums won. He also maintained a solid defensive presence with 14 attack ruck arrivals and 6 defensive ruck arrivals, proving his value as a set-piece specialist.
4: Jeremy Williams – Lock, Force (72 pts) A massive outing for the Force lock. Williams thrived on chaos, securing 4 lineout steals and a try. While his tackle count was modest, his ability to disrupt the opposition lineout makes him a high-reward play in the right matchup.
5: Lachlan Shaw – Lock, Brumbies (56 pts) The glue in the Brumbies’ engine room. Shaw’s 40 ruck arrivals are an elite-level stat that highlights his relentless work rate in the tight exchanges. He chipped in with a try and 11 tackles for good measure.
6: Semisi Tupou Ta’eiloa – Back Row, Moana Pasifika (90 pts) The headline act of the round. Ta’eiloa was virtually unstoppable with 2 tries, 6 tackle busts, and 41 post-contact metres. He is the quintessential “must-own” backrower right now.
7: Veveni Lasaqa – Back Row, Highlanders (83 pts) A defensive masterclass. Lasaqa terrorised the opposition with 3 turnovers won and a staggering 17 tackles. His ability to blend physicality with turnover poaching makes him a dream for any fantasy manager.
8: Charlie Cale – Back Row, Brumbies (81 pts) Cale continues his purple patch of form. With 2 tries, 2 lineout steals, and a balanced display of 14 tackles and 22 ruck arrivals, he is proving to be a true “all-rounder” capable of carrying a fantasy team.
9: Louis Werchon – Scrumhalf, Reds (69 pts) The Reds’ primary general to start the season. Werchon orchestrated the attack beautifully with a try assist and 76 passes. His contribution to the scoreboard via 14 points (conversions & penalties) and 121 kick metres makes him a top-tier halfback option.
10: Carter Gordon – Flyhalf, Reds (88 pts) Gordon is in scintillating form. He acted as the perfect triple threat playmaker with the match-winning try, 3 line-break assists and 159 kick metres, while his 14 tackles showcased a defensive commitment that is rare for a flyhalf.
11: Filipo Daugunu – Outside Back, Reds (83 pts) A physical force on the wing. Daugunu’s 79 carry metres, 4 offloads, and 2 line breaks were sensational, and he consistently troubled the defence with his sheer ability to break tackles.
12: Billy Proctor – Centre, Hurricanes (77 pts) Backing up his huge 2025 fantasy season. He scored a hat-trick and recorded 3 line breaks. Proctor proved that when the Hurricanes’ backline clicks, he is essentially unstoppable.
13: Quinn Tupaea – Centre, Chiefs (70 pts) The engine of the Chiefs’ midfield. With 14 carries and 16 ruck arrivals, Tupaea’s volume of work is exactly what managers crave for consistent, week-in-week-out production.
14: Leroy Carter – Outside Back, Chiefs (80 pts) Another hat-trick hero. Carter’s 79 carry metres and 4 tackle busts highlight the explosive potential he brings to the field, making him a lethal weapon for any side.
15: Caleb Tangitau – Outside Back, Highlanders (72 pts) A master of counter-attack. Tangitau showed off his raw pace with 3 line breaks and 2 tries, while his 34 kick return metres offer a nice bonus for managers in leagues that value transition play.
Buy, Hold, or Sell
Buy: Carter Gordon. The Reds are firing, and Gordon is at the heart of everything. He’s transitioned from a steady hand to a fantasy primary-generator.
Hold: Codie Taylor. Yes, he had some handling errors and turnovers conceded, but his 29 ruck arrivals and 16 lineout throws won ensure he remains a premium, high-floor asset.
Sell/Avoid: Louis Werchon. Although his fantasy output has been huge, the scrumhalf has increasing pressure from Kalani Thomas. With Lynagh returning to take over the goal kicking soon, we would expect him not to have that huge asset in his favour for the starting jersey.
