Here is the Team of the Week for the Six Nations Round 5, which is entirely objective based solely on points from the Superbru Fantasy Six Nations game.
We know that there are some players out of position, which is because players are grouped as Props, Back Row, Outside Backs etc on Superbru and not because we know nothing about Rugby. We also know that the team limits are ignored, so you couldn’t actually pick this side as your own fantasy team.
How reflective do you think this is of the weekend’s performances?
Not sure if any of these feature as web site is playing up..

Disagree with you there BigDia,
For me it would be;
1- M. Vunipola, J.McGrath, J.Marler
2- J.George, K.Owens, F.Brown
3- T.Furlong, WP Nel (if fit), D.Cole
4+5- M.Itoje, J.Gray, J.Launchberry, G.Kruis, R.Gray
6- CJ.Stander, S.Warburton, C.Robshaw
7- H.Watson, J.Tipuric, S.O’Brien
8- B.Vunipola, T.Falatau
9- C.Murray, R.Webb, B. Youngs
10- F.Russell, J.Sexton (Ford to replace when sexton gets injured)
12+13- O.Farrell(C), R.Henshaw, J.Joseph, E.Daly, A.Dunbar (Gutted Huw Jones has been ruled out)
11+14- A.Watson, J.Nowell, T.Seymour, S.Maitland
15- S.Hogg, L.Williams
So a 38-man squad of which there are 14 English, 7 Irish, 6 Welsh and 10 Scottish players.
From this squad a possible 1st test 23 would be:
1- Vunipola, 2- George, 3- Nel, 4- Itoje, 5- J.Gray, 6- Stander, 7- Watson, 8- Vunipola
9- Murray, 10- Russell, 11- Williams, 12- Farrell, 13- Joseph, 14- Watson, 15- Hogg
16- Owens, 17- McGrath, 18- Furlong, 19- Launchberry, 20- Warburton, 21- Webb, 22- Daly, 23- Seymour
This.
As a Scot, I don’t think there’s any chance we’ll have ten on the tour.
Six or seven at best.
You don’t need 4 hookers but you need three props either side so add a tighthead and loosehead.
Haven’t named 4 Hookers, struggling to chose between George and Cowan-Dickie. As for the Props really hope that Nel is Fit
Website is still playing up, would be grand to see the objective team of the tournament please?
