Just wondering what everybody's 6N team would be. The Welsh were very good, but I have no outstanding Irishmen (although I'm sure Geordan would have been had he not been discarded and then injured) but I think there were quite a few stand-out players in each position, so would be interesting to see what everyone thinks.
Mine is:
1:Sheridan
2:Mears
3:Castro
4:Gough
5:Borthwick
6:Strokosch
7:M Williams
8:Jones(C) (narrowly beats Parrise)
9:Blair
10:Hook
11:S Williams
12:Flood
13:Noon
14:Clerc
15:Bryne

Georden Murphy in 4 out of 5 games. If that isn't enbough games then i don't know what is

Yes, but he didn't play every minute of those games, did he? and he was playing in two different positions in the games he did play in. He was not stand out at wing, but was at full back. see?

parisse at 8 ahead of jones, imho. parisse was everywhere and pretty much carried his team.

jones had the luxury of quality around him. just for arguments sake i dont think jones could have done as well as parisse in parisses shoes.

Agree with that. We have a top quality pack, but outside the pack not much...Parisse has to carry the ball, and support backs in defence much more than Jones. Welsh backs are a level up above everyone, this year.

Also let me insert Bortolami at n. 4. I would like Mauro Bergamasco at n. 7, but i don't do it because of his bad temper. He's a superb player, but he really has to do something to calm him down, during a match.

I think you're all drunk.

Jones played well but Parisse was a class above everyone else imo.

I would have Henson at 12 as I thought he played well right when it mattered (with the exception of yesterday's high tackle indescretion)

The front row is up for grabs with the exception of Castro.

Surely Balshaw comes in at 15 for Byrne ?
