Rugby Marketplace Player of the Week: Samu Manoa

Notice Hayden Smith in the background?

Yet again Samu Manoa is our Player of the Week. We're not out to pick Manoa what seems like every other week but his strong play leaves us with very little choice. This last weekend he was huge for Northampton as they beat Saracens in the LV= Cup 20-16. Both teams were missing some of their key players but rather than playing down to the reserves level Manoa continued his stellar play, dominating the Saracens while scoring two tries. All the reviews after the match justifiably credited Manoa as the player of the game. Having Manoa hit good form over the next few months is great news for the Eagles and for Northampton as they get ready for World Cup qualifying and the push to the end of the season respectively. Congrats to Manoa for being the Rugby Marketplace Player of the Week!
