Six Nations 2020: Round 3 Team Of The Week

15 - Stuart Hogg (Scotland): Back to his best in Rome. His resplendent 22nd minute solo effort – which spanned some 40 metres of the pitch – is a contender for try of the Six Nations.

14 - Anthony Bouthier (France): There wasn't many standout wingers this weekend, so we've put a second fullback in our XV. As Jiffy said on commentary, he’s a natural footballer. What a find he continues to be, having been uncapped prior to the Championship.

13 - Manu Tuilagi (England): Nightmare for Ireland. Made yards all day, just like Dublin a years ago. Did the work of the two missing Vunipola's.

12 - Owen Farrell (England): Won the family battle with something to spare. Kicked everything, varied his play and controlled the game superbly.

11 - Jonathan Joseph (England): Playing out of position on his 50th cap, the outside-centre passed all the tests that everyone knew were coming his way. Looked lively, and quick.

10 - Romain Ntamack (France): The brightest spark in an electric French performance against the Welsh. The fly half was at the centre of most things France did well in attack and did his fair share in defence. The 20-year-old was metronomic with the boot and bagged himself a try to cap off a fine afternoon.

9 - Antoine Dupont (France): The best scrum-half in Europe. Showed a lot of grit and his tackle that stuffed a Welsh move in the 44th minute was massive.

1 - Rory Sutherland (Scotland): Won back to back penalties in the 6th and 9th minute respectively against giant young Italian tighthead Giosuè Zilocchi. He's also an impactful player with the ball in hand.

2 - Jamie George (England): Back to his best in energetic 50-minute shift before being replaced by Luke Cowan-Dickie

3 - Kyle Sinckler (England): A brick guarding the ruck but contrasting figure with the ball, supplying some lovely touches.

4 - Maro Itoje (England): Terrific defensively catching Ireland behind the gainline and one-man protective ruck blanket for England.

5 - Paul Willemse (France): Massive, brute power for his peel off try in the 30th minute.

6 - Ross Moriarty (Wales): Good source of line-out possession on his return to the side. Carried hard and relished the brutal physical nature of the contest. One of Wales’ better players and shifted to No 8.

7 - Sam Underhill (England): A thorn in Ireland's side leading the swarming defence which knocked the visitors for six with 21 tackles. Such an exocet when he lines an opponent up.

8 - Gregory Alldritt (France): The young Frenchman has made the kind of sudden impact on the Test scene that Faletau did back in the day. His carrying has been of a class. Monster.
