Super Rugby's finals system has been heavily criticised recently and now its official social media platform has been mocked for naming a "team of the week" which includes four Reds players, one Hurricanes' front-rower, and no Crusaders.
Jeffrey Toomaga-Allen, like the rest of the Hurricanes' front row, had a very difficult time of it against the Crusaders in Christchurch last weekend when the home side preserved its unbeaten record this season with a 20-12 victory, yet has been included in the No3 jersey.
The Canes' scrum went backwards at a rate of knots under extreme pressure from Crusaders Owen Franks, Codie Taylor and Joe Moody, yet Toomaga-Allen has been included in the Super Rugby 'team' whereas Franks, Taylor, Moody and company have been left out.
There wasn't a place for Crusaders' stand-in skipper Matt Todd or midfielder Ryan Crotty, both of whom were exemplary at AMI Stadium, yet there was a place for Reds players Stephen Moore, George Smith, Eto Nabuli and Samu Kerevi despite the fact that their team battled to a 29-24 victory against the lowly Rebels.
