Amidst a series of largely anticipated outcomes, numerous players have distinguished themselves with stellar performances for their nations.
Even though England secured victory in two out of their three matches, notable players like Maro Itoje and Ben Earl did not secure spots in the starting lineup.
Both emerging talents and seasoned veterans have left an indelible mark, underscoring the timeless essence of class. Dive into their selections, juxtaposed with RUCK’s own lineup, below.
SIX NATIONS TEAM OF THE TOURNAMENT:
#15. Cameron Winnett (Wales)
#14. Duhan van der Merwe (Scotland)
They wrote: “The clear choice for player of the third round, van der Merwe was simply world class as he bagged a stunning hat-trick in the Calcutta Cup. Arguably the best out-and-out finisher in the world at the moment, the wing – who has switched flanks to fit in this XV – was also a menace against Wales as he bagged a brace and showed his defensive qualities against France too.”
#13. Huw Jones (Scotland)
#12. Bundee Aki (Ireland)
#11. James Lowe (Ireland)
They wrote: “Ireland are massively dependent on his left foot – as was shown on the opening weekend when he kicked for over 500 metres against France – but he showed against Wales that he isn’t too shabby with the ball in hand, breaking through the Welsh defence and grabbing a deserved try.”
