Title: Re: The 2016 Six Nations Post by: TightEnd on February 16, 2016, 09:52:02 AM Is this the worst Six Nations ever?

Title: Re: The 2016 Six Nations Post by: Woodsey on March 21, 2016, 11:58:20 AM Can vote for the player of the tournament, who is your choice?
I would say either Billy V or Stuart Hogg, voted for the former because I'm a biased supporter :) http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/21509.php#KwS4A3lkS2m5gdpE.97 Gareth Davies (Wales) Guilhem Guirado (France) Stuart Hogg (Scotland) Jonathan Joseph (England) Conor Murray (Ireland) George North (Wales) Jack Nowell (England) Sergio Parisse (Italy) Jonathan Sexton (Ireland) Duncan Taylor (Scotland) Virimi Vakatawa (France) Billy Vunipola (England) Title: Re: The 2016 Six Nations Post by: TightEnd on March 21, 2016, 12:02:07 PM the list doesnt even include George Kruis
the english line out was brilliant all championship, especially in Paris with all those steals how he doesn't make the final 12 i do not know, same for itoje jamie roberts isn't on the list either, had a sensational tournament from the list alone vunipola/hogg are the choices but the list is very flawed Title: Re: The 2016 Six Nations Post by: hector62 on March 21, 2016, 03:18:21 PM C J Stander for me. Would be tough to choose between him and Sean OBrien when he is fit.

The Lions team if the first Test was tomorrow (purely picked on form): 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Anthony Watson, 13 Duncan Taylor, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 George North, 10 Johnny Sexton, 9 Rhys Webb; 1 Rob Evans, 2 Dylan Hartley, 3 WP Nel, 4 Maro Itoje, 5 George Kruis, 6 John Barclay, 7 Sam Warburton, 8 Taulupe Faletau (Billy Vunipola would have a major role coming off the bench). interesting! Title: Re: The 2016 Six Nations Post by: hector62 on March 21, 2016, 03:46:13 PM I thought Warburtton was poor throughout the tournament. I think you are right about the English lineout winning the match v France for them. If Eddie Jones was such a smart coach why did henot substitute Nowell after 10 minutes when it was obvious he was incapable of tackling Nakatawi.

Title: Re: The 2016 Six Nations Post by: Woodsey on March 21, 2016, 05:20:22 PM Martin Johnson's British and Irish Lions XV
S Hogg (Scotland), A Watson, J Joseph (both England), J Roberts, G North (both Wales), J Sexton (Ireland), B Youngs (England), J McGrath (Ireland), D Hartley (England), WP Nel (Scotland), M Itoje, G Kruis, C Robshaw (all England), J Hardie (Scotland), B Vunipola (England). Title: Re: The 2016 Six Nations Post by: Woodsey on March 24, 2016, 05:33:13 PM Stuart Hogg got player of the series, fair enough....
