#3. Jonathan Danty (France)
With a disappointing 4.5/10 rating in the Six Nations opener against Ireland, it’s the type of performance that often leads to being benched, and he should brace himself for criticism from the local press.
Though he managed to hold onto his spot for the match against Scotland, Danty found himself thwarted by Scotland’s midfield, which matched his usual physicality and denied him the opportunity to make significant gains. Once again, his performance fell short, earning him a meager 5/10 rating.
The situation worsened against Italy in round three. Despite showing signs of improvement prior to his red card, Danty struggled to replicate his usual form. While he displayed some solidity in midfield, contributing defensively and making effective runs, his partnership with Fickou failed to fully ignite. Unfortunately, his game was cut short by a reckless tackle on Juan Ignacio Brex, leading to an early exit after intervention from the match officials.
