2014 Six Nations XV

[Big Ewis]

Yes. Yes that thing. Yezzzzzzzzz....

It requires investigation in stats, and a bunch of other things so I'll do mine later.
But the best player by team, at least:

Ireland: O'Mahony
England: Brown
Wales: Roberts ? Warburton ?
France: Huget
Scotland: Denton
Italy: Parisse

[iINDOMINUSxx]

right ok btw heres my six nations xv

1.) Cian Healy
2.) Dimitri Szarzewski
3.) David Wilson
4.) Devin Toner
5.) Courtney Lawes
6.) Yannick Nyanga
7.) Sam Warburton (C)
8.) Billy Vunipola
9.) Danny Care
10.) Jonathan Sexton
11.) George North
12.) Jamie Roberts
13.) Luther Burrell
14.) Yoann Huget
15.) Mike Brown

my subs cause im pro

16.) Richard Hibbard
17.) Mako Vunipola
18.) Ryan Grant
19.) Paul O'Connell
20.) Chris Robshaw
21.) Conor Murray
22.) Owen Farrell
23.) Andrew Trimble

i wanted a scotman in there even though we dont deserve on as we were awful and no players i think would have stepped up but if i'd put one in then its ryan grant because he hasn't done much wrong he did what was asked off him and he is a good scrummager it was the tighthead for scotland which messed the scrums up and grants defence was probably better than most off the other scottish players out there and richie gray didn't do much and he missed 2 games and i would have usually have added him in but he didn't do alot so he isn't in for this year

[KAPman]

dave denton is our best player right now! He's the only player whos played consistantly well all championship, and gives great go forward with his ball carrying, and a good offloader in contact

 

[jrZielinski]

just out off question KAPman what pro 12 do you support ? Edinburgh or glasgow

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

yeah i agree he is a strong ball carrier and wasn't he the player that made the most carries in the six nations ? well we was one stage so yeah even though i'd never thought he would be scotland best player but he is but i think stuart hogg will be when he is at his best

and wow i never expect a the tread with a few scottish posters happy to see this

How far you get with the carries is the most important factor and I think in every game the England 8 has carried further than his opposite number.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Who would be the coach?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Who would be the coach?

Jo Schmidt.
Lancaster's doing a fine job at England, and has slowly built his side - Schmidt has come in and made a night and day difference with Ireland.

Probably how the teams performed during tourney centre's hardest to pick as no-one outstanding from any side and could have a picked a few others for those spots others just about nailed on IMHO.

Now I haven't seen a lot of the rugby because I have been working, so sorry welsh fans because the only games I have seen is the France one and against England, and the only player from them games was Halfpenny and he wasn't the best fullback. So this team is based on the limited rugby I have seen.

I like this one quite a bit. I'd have possibly George North at the 11 over Trimble because although he's been relatively discrete this year, he's still an enormous winger with incredible strength and great speed who will be a constant threat; and he's actually played well, although he doesn't have great highlights to show for it.

Courageous pick with Cittadini there, I agree.
I might have someone else over either Lawes or LBury, just not sure who.
And Louis Picamoles at no. 8.

Nyanga would've had a chance for the 6 jersey had he played the whole tournament, he was on a major high. And Owen Farrell very close for the 10 jersey.

Yes, debated with myself over George North, but felt he was underused and missed too much in other games.

Picamoles and Billy are on a par for destructive ball carrying, but Billy edges it for me with his offloading and team support play a little bit better than Louis.

Nyanga was a close call too. But POM had more of an impact in additional ways to Nyangas heroics.

Plus, I think Sexton is the more mature and consistent version of what Farrell is growing to be.
