Team of the Tournament – Six Nations 2018:
15 – Rob Kearney (Ireland)
He stood up on defence in the important games and once again his attacking play out wide gave the Irish an extra dimension.
Bubbling under: Leigh Halfpenny (Wales)
14 – Keith Earls (Ireland)
He was reliable out wide, hardly putting a foot wrong all tournament. He came close to making the list in a few of our Team of the Week selections and now he climbs all the way to the top for the No.14 spot.
Bubbling under: Teddy Thomas (France)
13 – Huw Jones (Scotland)
He was outstanding on attack for Scotland during the Six Nations, especially in that famous win over England.
Bubbling under: Garry Ringrose (Ireland)
12 – Owen Farrell (England)
He was consistently good for England throughout the Six Nations. He might have missed a few tackles, but his decision-making on attack and in the territorial battles helped England a lot.
Bubbling under: Hadleigh Parkes (Wales)
11 – Jacob Stockdale (Ireland)
He is the competition's leading try scorer this year proving that he is a lethal finisher he is out wide.
Bubbling under: Remy Grosso (France)
10 – Johnny Sexton (Ireland)
He is the general for Ireland and his all-round performances have been key in the Grand Slam success. And who can forget that amazing drop goal against France.
Bubbling under: Finn Russell (Scotland)
9 – Conor Murray (Ireland)
His game-management throughout the Six Nations was second to none, which cemented his place as the Northern Hemisphere's No.1 scrumhalf.
Bubbling under: Maxime Machenaud (France)
8 – Taulupe Faletau (Wales)
He was definitely Wales' best player throughout the Six Nations. He was the go-to man in the physical stuff and he almost always got his side over the advantage line.
Bubbling under: Christiaan Stander (Ireland)
7 – Yacouba Camara (France)
He is the kind of player you want in your team. His work rate is unbelievable in all facets of play.
Bubbling under: Hamish Watson (Scotland)
6 – Aaron Shingler (Wales)
His excellent defensive work around the park often goes unnoticed and he was a menace at the breakdowns as well.
Bubbling under: Peter O’Mahony (Ireland)
5 – Maro Itoje (England)
He brought a lot to the England team with his skill set. He is just such a dynamic player for a lock.
Bubbling under: Jonny Gray (Scotland)
4 – James Ryan (Ireland)
He worked hard in that No.4 jersey when he was called upon. Ireland not only relied on him in the line-outs but also in the physical exchanges where he flourished.
Bubbling under: Grant Gilchrist (Scotland)
3 – Tadhg Furlong (Ireland)
He was immense in that final game against England. In fact, he was immense in all the game he played for Ireland.
Bubbling under: Simon Berghan (Scotland)
2 – Guilhem Guirado (France)
He played out of skin for his country during the tournament. He definitely deserves his place in this team.
Bubbling under: Rory Best (Ireland)
1 – Mako Vunipola (England)
He was powerful in the scrums and did a lot of work around the park for England. he is going to need some serious rest soon.
Bubbling under: Cian Healy (Ireland)
