Super Rugby U16 continues to deliver as we head into the Grand Final on Saturday.
Week Three action began on Saturday, with the Western Force narrowly defeating Victoria 42-35, followed by a thumping win by the Queensland Reds over the ACT Brumbies.
This performance helped the Reds into Saturday's decider against the Waratahs, who were the standouts on Tuesday in a 71-37 victory against the Vics.
A thrilling 45-43 win over the Force concluded the regular season, and Rugby Australia's High Performance Team sat down to select its Team of the Week.
With multiple representatives across the four teams, the Waratahs have the most selections, with five.
This is headlined by winger Lucas Aholahi, who scored a hat-trick in the big win on Tuesday, along with powerhouse centre Lorima Seuseu.
Forwards trio Deon Haynes, Harry Jones-Hughes and Mathias Toailoa were also named, with Jones-Hughes and Haynes crossing in the win.
