Might be a little one eyed, but some seriously good performances across several teams this weekend

Barclay was the best player of the whole weekend for me. I was also really impressed with Leavy, will be a real battle at the breakdown when Ireland play Scotland.

I'd also have Laidlaw in, he was more or less flawless. Davies wasn't even the best scrum half playing in Dublin

I was conscious that I could just end up with a Scotland team lol

I didn't see the France v Italy game, but wouldn't have any complaints with a team of the week made up completely of Scots and Irish players!

I think that's three weeks in a row where Sexton failed to get into any of these teams of the week - and him leading his side to 3 victories with most tries and most points so far.

The master is not loved by ze locals.

15. Halfpenny
14. Maitland
13. Jones
12. Aki (honorable shout to Farrell who looked like the only English player who cared)
11. Stockdale
10. Russell
9. Laidlaw
8. Stander
7. Watson (honourable shout to Shingler)
6. Barclay
5. Gilchrist
4. Gray
3. Berghan
2. McInally
1. Healy

Well, feel for England. Max 3 players with a win, 0 when we lose.

Connor Murray and Johnny Sexton the standout halfbacks for me, with Murray taking the kicking duties. Wingers should be Earls and Stockdale. Stander was pretty quiet, I'd maybe shift Barclay to 8 and have Shingler at 6. The only Welsh players who stand a chance of getting in are Shingler and Navidi as per, but even they were restricted by Jackson's odd breakdown interpretation....

Thought Mathieu Bastereau was superb, Chris Farrell too.

Did anyone else think that Italian 13 was a bit of a standout? Scott Williams wasn't bad either, seems it was a good weekend for 13's.
