Telusa Veainu was the stand-out player in Round 17 of the Aviva Premiership, according to BT Sport pundit David Flatman.
And Veainu’s statistics in the OPTA Rugby Rankings back up Flatman’s selection.
Veainu scored two tries in the 34-5 bonus-point win at Worcester Warriors, and played a huge role in Jonah Holmes’s opening try with a break from his own 22.
