France go from strength to strength in the Six Nations, and here are TRU's Dream Team from the games in Round 3.
1. Cyril Baille (France) - A very powerful performance from the loosehead, fast becoming one of the first names on the team sheet for France.
2. Peato Mauvaka (France) - France seem to have a steady stream of world class hookers, behind Julien Marchand their is Mauvaka, who carried more than any other French forward off the bench!
3. Tadhg Furlong (Ireland) - Another stellar display from the Irish fan favourite, a relentless workrate for such a big bloke both in the tight and the loose.
4. Maro Itoje (England) - Key to England's win against Wales, a menace around the pitch especially in defense, disrupting set-piece play and tackling like a beast.
5. Paul Willemse (France) - The powerhouse South-African born lock threw himself at Scotland, evident from their first try on the weekend, truely unstoppable on the rampage.
6. Courtney Lawes (England) - Courtney chucked himself around the pitch in true Lawes fashion, captained the side in actions and got them to victory in a tense battle.
7. Michele Lamaro (Italy) - Sometimes the game is consumed by the heart not victories, and Lamaro has that in spades against formidable odds, talismanic in defeat.
8. Alex Dombrandt (England) - A tough call this weekend, as there were big performances from both Alldritt and Faletau too, but Dombrandt gave us a glimpse into his international potential!
9. Antoine Dupont (France) - Back to his electric best, orchestrating his forwards and backs into attacking areas and was the second highest French tackler with 13!?
10. Marcus Smith (England) - Man of the Match Smith had a very strong outting, his 18-points for England's in this win over Wales is his highest Test match points for England to date.
11. Damian Penaud (Ireland) - Scored twice, notched up 85 metres, 3 clean breaks and assissted youngster Yoram Moefana (who also had a great game on the wing too), imperious.
12. Jonathan Danty (France) - Smashes through the gainline with ease but also couples that with some intricate ball hadling skill too, big in D with 12 tackles. Tompkins was busy.
13. Gael Fickou (France) - Arced around the Scottish defense for his try like it was U10s, delicate hands and his defense isn't too shabby either, a good day at the office.
14. Alex Cuthbert (Wales) - Turned back the years with a huge performance against England, running through players amassing a chart topping 146 metres with ball in hand.
15. Mike Lowry (Ireland) - Lowry was ruthless on his Irish debut, 2 tries could have been 3, and running 75 metres. Freddie Steward desrves a mention too.
