Ok, so that looks heavily Welsh but hey, we won it all so suck it.

10. Biggar (Wales) - By default, don't think any 10s were particularly great. Trinh-Duc could've been here if he'd played more than about 70mins of rubgy!
11. Venditi (Italy)
12. Fofana (France)
13. BOD (Ireland) - Same with 10, don't think anyone was that great at 13.
14. Cuthbert (Wales)
15. Hogg (Scotland)

Sub: Halfpenny
 
i think that calls into question the credibility of the selection when you omit THE outstanding player of the tournament..........!!

He would have been my 8 but being banned for a game was taken into consideration. Same reason I havn't thought about picking Healy
 
1.) Healy (Ireland)
2.) Rory Best (Ireland)
3.) Mas (France)
4.) Gray (Scotland)
5.) AW Jones (Wales)
6.) Brown (Scotland)
7.) Robshaw (England)
8.) Falatau (Wales)
9.) Laidlaw (Scotland)
10.) Sexton (Ireland)
11.) Visser (Scotland)
12.) Scott (Scotland)
13.) BOD (Ireland)
14.) North (Wales)
15.) Halfpenny (Wales)
 
1.) Healy (Ireland)
2.) Rory Best (Ireland)
3.) Mas (France)
4.) Gray (Scotland)
5.) AW Jones (Wales)
6.) Brown (Scotland)
7.) Robshaw (England)
8.) Falatau (Wales)
9.) Laidlaw (Scotland)
10.) Sexton (Ireland)
11.) Visser (Scotland)
12.) Scott (Scotland)
13.) BOD (Ireland)
14.) North (Wales)
15.) Halfpenny (Wales)

Interesting calls on Mas ahead of Jones and Brown (who admittedly had a great tournament) ahead of Tipuric or Wood. Also Sexton only played a game and a half?

Anyway my picks:

1) Healy (Ireland)
2) Hibbard (Wales)
3) Jones (Wales)
4) Parling (England)
5) AW Jones (Wales)
6) Robshaw (England)
7) Tipuric (Wales)
8) Parisse (Italy) - Picamoles and Faletau thereabouts too
9) Laidlaw (Scotland)
10) Biggar (Wales) - Farrell and Orquera easily in there too imo
11) Visser (Scotland)
12) Scott (Scotland) - Find of the tournament imo
13) BOD (Ireland)
14) Cuthbert (Wales)
15) Halfpenny (Wales)

A good team is not an addition of the so called best players, it's more subtile than that. A good team who have the Intelligence to play without fault, the Courage to face fiercly a better team than them self, and the the Will to win dispite the defeat.
That'mean a combinaison of physicals qualities intelligences qualities, Solidarities qualities, and morals qualities.
It's like in a symphonic orchestra, we have to repeat again and again until the strings instruments play in the right times with winds instruments and the rythms of the the percutions instruments under the coordination of "chef d'orchestre" Furtwangler or a Von Karajan. It's magic. Without these conditions the best team on the paper could be defeat by the smallest but more organised team. And that it's a beauty of our a sport we love, all of us where ever we come from, differents countries and cultures, I mean Rugby.

BBC team is the same except Farrell for Biggar, North for Vendetti and Launchbury for Parling.
Maybe they should pay me for doing everything for them.
