After two home wins in Round #3 Opta Sports has crunched the numbers to see who were the standout performers...

Round #3 saw the Blues keep up their season momentum against the Highlanders in Auckland, while the Crusaders made it two from two against the Chiefs in Christchurch. Both teams are on top but Blues have a bye in Round #4.

There are some familiar faces in the Player of the Week standings again this week as several players continue to show outstanding form. The stats say Blues' winger Caleb Clarke was the Player of the Week [POTW in RD #1]... followed by Blues' flanker Dalton Papali'i and Crusaders' fullback Will Jordan [POTW in RD#2].
