RBS Six Nations Team of Week 4

by The TRU Team Monday 14 March 2016

England were crowned Six Nations title winners, but there's a small matter of a Grand Slam finish against France to deal with next weekend. Ireland put the Italians to the sword and Scotland produced a very impressive performance at Murrayfield to beat the French.

Below we look at the players that impressed in Round 4:

Jack McGrath - Barged over from close range for only his second score of his international career. Alastiar Dickinson needs a mention also for his scrum work.
Guilhem Guirado - The French skipper bagged himself another try. Has to be the most consistent hooker of the tournament.
WP Nel - Glasgow Warriors' tighthead featured heavily in the loose and created problems for the French at the scrum too... where the French were 'supposed' to have parity.
Maro Itoje - MOTM. He tackled (14), turned over ball, disrupted the Welsh ruck, carried well and came provider for Anthony Watson's try.
Richie Gray - Both Gray brothers worthy of a mention here. Carried hard and worked relentlessly at set-piece, complemented each other well.
Chris Robshaw - Eddie Jones pointed to Robshaw's tireless work ethic on the pitch, second to Vunipola in carries, evident throughout a tough 80 minutes.
John Hardie - Stopped any French attack in his vicinity, turning any momentum France had into static, slow ball. Bagged himself 4 turnovers too.
Taulupe Faletau - Whilst Vunipola was singled-out by the Welsh defense, Faletau showed us what a potent weapon he can be, especially with the shackles off in the last 20mins.
Greig Laidlaw - Rallied the troops well and executed the kicking duties effortlessly, showing little effect from the weight of the game on the captain's shoulders.
Jonny Sexton - Orchestrated a highly functioning back-line against the Azzuri, some deft touches putting his teammates into space, slightly off with the boot.
George North - Made the most metres in the game with 140. Looked dangerous in attack (bagging a try), especially when Wales went on the rampage in the latter stages of the game.
Owen Farrell - Amazing with the boot, 20 points to his name, a very solid performance in defence and attack, an elevated shift from the vice-captain.
Duncan Taylor - Showed some amazing skills when he took his individual try, with the most total clean breaks and metres made. Michele Campagnaro was as fiery as ever, a huge loss for their final game.
Andrew Trimble - Plenty of strength shown for his try. He led the way with clean breaks and metres made for the Irish, seems to be getting back some of his previous form.
Stuart Hogg - He has been in tremendous form throughout the tournament, and no greater example than against France. Scored, provided, kicked... worthy of his MOTM title.
