2022 Six Nations team of the week: Round 2 - Ruck

2022 Six Nations team of the week: Round 2


It’s that time of the week where we compile our dream side from the weekend’s action, here is RUCK’S 2022 Six Nations Team of the Week for round two:

2022 Six Nations Round One Scores:

BACK-THREE:

  • 15. Liam Williams (Wales)
  • 14. Darcy Graham (Scotland)
  • 11. Gabin Villiere (France)

Offside Line on Graham: “A little man with a giant heart. Too strong for Louis Rees-Zammit when he caught him one-on-one five meters out. Into everything, with some huge hits.”

Wales Online on Williams: “Produced a vital turnover to relieve early pressure and launch attack and produced a pinpoint 50:22 around half hour mark.”

Rugby Pass on Villiere: “Won France’s first penalty which Jaminet translated into three points with a tremendous kick chase and posed Ireland with plenty of defensive questions every time he touched the ball.”

CENTRES:

  • 13. Owen Watkin (Wales)
  • 12. Marcus Smith (England)

Rugby pass on Watkin: “Fantastic from the first minute. Tackled everything, made the right decisions and even made a break or two. Clearly enjoyed himself.”

Evening Standard on Smith: “The golden boy of English rugby can seemingly do no wrong right now. Got England going with their opening try and proceeded to run the show from there.”
