Team of the Tournament

[Leonormous Boozer]

Let's try this, I think I watched every game bar Italy v Scotland and England. Soberly watching is another question.

1. Baille - no competition
2. Marchand - Sheehan and Kelleher not far off but losing out on minutes played
3. Furlong - Not his greatest tournament but no one else really shone
4. Willemse - Or Woki if you prefer
5. Itoje - Ewels helped him out in R4 though. Possibly harsh on Beirne but I thought France was his only excellent game by his standards, I seem to miss a lot of what he does though.
6. Lamaro - Flankers are by far the hardest to pick, this is a bit sentimental
7. VdF - I think he was ahead of a strong offering, great tournament
8. Aldritt - No competition again
9. Dupont - Ditto
10. N'tamack - Had the easiest ride and did the business, no one stood out considering the hype literally all of them get.
11. Villiere - Another strong offering, both Irish guys went well, Adams was very good, Ioane too.
12. Fickou - shoehorning him in here because himself and Ringrose were a level above anyone else.
13. Ringrose - Above
14. Penaud - Another Frenchman separating them from the rest
15. Keenan - Thought he was absolutely excellent, Steward and Jaminet both neck and neck though.

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

You missed Youngs at 9.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Genge, George, Stuart
Isiekwe, Ewels
Itoje, Curry, Dombrandt
Randall, Smith
Nowell, Slade, Marchant, Malins
Steward


Only side who could keep Italy scoreless so clearly the best in the comp

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

I'd give honourable mentions D'Arcy Graham (did well with limited opportunity) and Capauzzo (a great 100 mins).

Hansen and Aki ? Edit, Van Der Flier too.

My Team
1. Genge - one of the few England players who stood out
2. Marchand
3. Atonio - monster
4. Itoje
5. Woki
6. Doris
7. Van Der Flier
8. Alldritt
9. Dupont
10. Sexton - Still the supreme controller of a game
11. Hansen - Sparky
12. Danty
13. Fickou
14. Penaud
15. Keenan - looks like he's been playing for years

Putting Genge and Itoje in is maybe a bit biased but I do think they have been very good this season. Easiest two selections were Alldritt and Dupont,

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Gonna lose my Leinster season ticket with this one.
But if Genge is not viewed as the best Loosehead in the comp yet he destroyed the best tighthead in the comp something just doesn't add up here.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

One game v Baille being one of France's top three players. It's not really a competition. Like Baille was awesome.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

1. Genge- Jones asked him to do everything and he delivered
2. Marchand- Steady hand on the most dominant team.
3. Atonio- Strong carrier, real game changer for the French.
4. Itoje- By far best lock out there. Tried to do too much at times but was a bright spot for the lol English.
5. Willemse- Steady, reliable, this war horse isn't coming home from france.
6. No one- do better next time
7. Van der Flier- NH Flankers are so boring compared to SH ones.
8. Alldritt- see above
9. Dupont- Honestly I thought he underperformed compared to his normal standard but was still amazing
10. Garbisi but this is another do better next time position
11. Villerie- easy to be a winger on a dominant side
12. Aki but this was a weak crop
13. Marchant- just edges Ringrose
14. Penaud- pure power winger
15. Keenan- good under high ball
