This is from planetrugby, their S14 team of the week

15 Mark Gerrard (Brumbies): His kicking game was solid against the Crusaders, but his ability to punish misdirected kicks with scything runs is what really made this full-back dangerous. Got more and more influential on attack as the Brumbies' fightback gained dangerous momentum, resulting in a match-winning converted try on the stroke of full-time.
14 Rene Ranger (Blues): Hi Ho Silver... ok, you get the message. The winger was one of the lone rangers in a Blues back-line that managed to hit back against the Bulls try-scoring frenzy with a few gems of their own. Ranger led the way with some bustling runs and high tackle that cost him a game at Newlands. But we won't hold it against him!
13 Casey Laulala (Crusaders): A gritty fight in a losing cause. Laulala showed great fortitude and leg-strength in squeezing over for the first Crusaders try against the Brumbies, and was typically rugged and willing in defence, too.
12 Stirling Mortlock (Brumbies): There are few figures as consistently threatening in the Super 14. Mortlock's power game has matured over the years and he runs some of the smartest angles in the game. His injury-time conversion to win the game for the Brumbies also showed off his cool, calm and collected approach.
11 Bryan Habana (Bulls): The Bulls flyer ended 2008 with a morale-boosting try against England after enduring a dismal post-Rugby World Cup season of injury and poor form. Bulked up and hungry again, Habana showed against the Blues that he is definitely back in business.
10 Quade Cooper (Reds): Beats off the Bulls Morne Steyn, purely based on Cooper's efforts behind a less dominant pack. Possessing a dangerous sidestep and sublime ball skills, the Reds pivot was a constant menace against the Stormers - scoring one try and setting up two more.
9 Fourie du Preez (Bulls): Du Preez' tactical awareness and pinpoint kicking game led to the Bulls opening try. From then on, the floodgates opened up with the Bulls stand-in skipper playing a part in every single touchdown scored as well as dotting down for one himself before being given a rest.
8 Pierre Spies (Bulls): Is there any way of stopping this powerful athlete when he breaks from a set scrum, ruck or tackle? No, there isn't. This was how Spies knocked the wind from the Blues' sails, and his two tries on the day were impressive.
7 Duane Vermuelen (Stormers): Number eight one week, flanker the next. The Stormers are blessed with quality loose forwards land Vermuelen is no exception. He is a dynamic ball carrier, strong defender, useful line-out option and oh so dangerous from broken play.
6 George Smith (Brumbies): One silly error cost his team a try, but Smith made amends soon afterwards by setting up one for his team. He certainly enhanced his reputation as one of the very finest fetchers in the game, and was often at the shoulder of the ball-carrier in attacking moves.
5 Jason Eaton (Hurricanes): Vital try-scorer for the Hurricanes that sparked a match-winning comeback and - in defence - was denied saving a try to Daniel Bowden by the TMO, which we thought was very unlucky indeed. Also showed why he is increasingly the go-to man for the 'Canes in line-out terms.
4 Bakkies Botha (Bulls): Many have tried to nullify Botha's influence, but few have succeeded. The vastly experienced Bulls lock was once again effective in the tight-loose, and impossible to match at line-out time.
3 Ben Franks (Crusaders): Held his own against a formidable Brumbies front row. Franks is a reliable ball carrier and a solid defender on the fringes of the ruck.
2 Adriaan Strauss (Cheetahs): The shining light in a losing side for the Cheetahs, the combative hooker was prominent in mauling and driving play against the Force.
1 Heinke van der Merwe (Lions): A destructive scrummager in fine form that ought help his challenge for a Bok place against the British and Irish Lions. And despite his bulk, Strauss is among the more mobile in the competition.
