Ogni settimana Planet Rugby fa le sue scelte e stila il suo XV ideale del turno di Super Rugby appena concluso. Il Grillotalpa ne ha dato sempre notizia. Un giochino certo, che spesso premia prestazioni estemporanee ma che sul medio-lungo periodo può dare una idea piuttosto solida di chi si è comportato meglio e delle squadre più solide.
