Hi folks,
Based on the performances in this years tournament alone, who would you have in a fantasy XV
Loosehead Prop
Options: Alex Corbisiero, Jean Baptiste Poux, Cian Healy, Andrea Lo Cicero, Allan Jacobsen, Gethin Jenkins
I'd see this one as a tight decision between Gethin Jenkins and Corbisiero, and I'd probably just go for the latter on the basis of this years tournament
Hooker
Options: Dylan Hartley, William Servat, Dmitri Szarzewski, Rory Best, Fabio Ongaro, Ross Ford, Matthew Rees
A very tough one, you could make a case for any of the above that would hold water. For me Rees just about shades it as he has been so consistent in a consistently good scrum
Tighthead Prop
Options: Dan Cole, Nicolas Mas, Mike Ross, Martin Castrogiovanni, Geoff Cross, Euan Murray, Adam Jones
Adam Jones - no question!
Team of the tournament - Front Row

Agreed SARS, and ye hooker is a tight call tho i don't think anyone could argue a reasonable case for Szarzewski

Close enough all round I'd say.
I'd agree that loose between Corbisiero and Jenkins.
I was mulling this over myself last week and was seriously thinking about Cian Healy for his work in the loose, then Saturday happened...
Yeah, Corbisiero for me.
At hooker my initial picks would have been Best and Ross. So Ross.
At tight Castro only got one game so no. Cross and Murray were less than brilliant. Ross is Irish, enough said, even if the major problems started only after he went off.
So, Cole, Mas or Jones?
I'll go for Cole on the basis of what he and Corbisiero did to Ireland.
