A bye for the Hurricanes in Round 9 of the Super Rugby campaign gave their peers a chance to close the gap at the table's summit this weekend, and others were more than happy to dazzle in their stead.
Among those impressing were the Highlanders, who capitalised on a superb display from Waisake Naholo (pictured) to overturn the Crusaders on their own turf to go fifth in the standings.
Saracens kept up their pursuit of Northampton Saints in the Premiership, but there was a shock at the Marcel Michelin, where Clermont Auvergne slumped to a home defeat against Top 14 minnows Oyonnax.
Stars from both hemispheres have done enough to weave their way into our best XV from this weekend's world rugby slate, but with so many candidates vying for a berth, only the cream of the crop make the cut.
