Sam Warburton, the Welsh rugby legend and BBC pundit, has revealed his selection for the Six Nations teams of the tournament.
According to Warburton, his team is made up of seven Irish players, four French players, three Scots, and an Italian.
He has hailed Johnny Sexton as Ireland’s “colonel” and his current preferred choice at 10 for the Lions, citing Sexton’s less risky and error-prone style of play.
The tournament’s top try-scorer Damian Penaud was Warburton’s player of the tournament.
“I just love Penaud,” he said.
“Dupont is the best player in the tournament but I think Penaud is a brilliant player.”
