Seabelo Senatla’s try-scoring feats at home put the former Blitzbok speedster at the top of the try-scoring log, two clear of a chasing pack of seven players on six tries apiece, a list that includes his DHL Stormers team-mate Leolin Zas (wing), as well as the Vodacom Bulls' Marcell Coetzee (loose forward) and Johan Grobbelaar (hooker), and a quartet of Irish players, Mack Hansen (Connacht), Simon Zebo and Jack O’Donaghue (both Munster), and Nick Timoney (Ulster).

DHL Stormers flyhalf Manie Libbok leads the overall points scorers log with 94 points, a solitary point ahead of Leinster’s Ross Byrne with the Vodacom Bulls’ Chris Smith (flyhalf) in seventh spot with 70 points, and the Cell C Sharks' Curwin Bosch (10th with 66 points) and Boeta Chamberlain (11th with 65 points) also amongst the top scorers.

But it isn’t just in terms of points-scoring that there has been an impact - individual performances have also not gone unnoticed and the DHL Stormers’ form in particular has seen No 8 Evan Roos top the successful carries log, posting a massive 77 carries this season, eight ahead of Scarlets powerhouse Sione Kalamafoni, with equally impressive Vodacom Bulls loose forward Eligh Louw third with 67.

Two more Vodacom Bulls players appear on the list of successful carries - Coetzee is joint sixth with 59, while Harold Vorster (centrE) is eighth with 55 carries.

Vodacom Bulls wing Madosh Tambwe is joint top when it comes to clean breaks, sharing the honour with Scarlets’ Steff Evans, while his back-three team-mate Kurt-Lee Arendse is second with 14. Senatla is breathing down their necks with 13, showing how well the South African speedsters have done in the competition.

Tambwe also tops the metres gained stat - with a massive 710 metres - more than 110 metres ahead of second placed Henry Immelmann, South African-born who features for Edinburgh at 599.

Arendse (573) and the DHL Stormers’ Warrick Gelant (565) round out the top four in a stat that is heavily dominated by locally-born players. Cell C Sharks fullback Aphelele Fassi is ninth, with Roos in 11th position.

Immelmann grabs the top spot when it comes to defenders beaten, with 42, while Hansen is second with 38. Tambwe (3rd), Roos (4th) and Arendse (5th) also feature heavily.

When it comes to offloads, Vodacom Bulls captain Coetzee is king with 25, followed by Gelant on 24 and Tambwe in fourth on 18.

South Africans don’t feature highly on defence, perhaps because of their lopsided games of late, but the one stat that could be improved is the turnovers lost stat - where Immelmann, Tambwe, Louw and Libbok all feature in the top five.

Not surprisingly, Chamberlain is clear leader in the drop goal category with four, three more than any other player.
