Stockdale had a few defensive blips or questionable decisions to offset his great finishing. Though I still think he should be in the running, because he's been fantastic. In fairness, I thought that Earls could have scored more, but the ball rarely seemed to come his way in the opposition 22. But he was superb in all other respects. And he had three different moments that will make the highlight reels of this tournament - taking Sexton's crossfield kick at the end of the France game, chasing back to stop Italy from scoring their fourth try, and the tip tackle in the England game. James Ryan is a good shout too. One of our most impressive players this tournament, and has probably earned himself a spot in the starting 15 for quite some time to come.</blockquote>
