From the 6 nations, who would you have.....

Hi All

To try to be a bit more positive about each other, I thought I would ask the question.... from the other teams - who would you have in your match day squad in this years 6 nations (if there was one more match) - select 2 from each (can be the same position)


so for my Scotland Team

England
Owen Farrell (12)
Marler

Wales
Rhys Webb
Williams


Ireland
Tadhg Furlong
Sexton

France
Louis Picamoles
Baptiste Serin

Italy
Sergio Parisse
Edoardo Gori

Interesting idea, again for scotland

Guiardo and Serin from France.
Farrell and Robshaw from England.
Carpangnaro and someone else from Italy.
Liam Williams and Rhys Webb from Wales.
Furlong and POM from Ireland.

From an Irish perspective, I'd pick a total of 4 names from other sides who would makes us a whole lot more complete.

We need a completely new back three, so Hogg, Liam Williams and probably Daly, who also adds the versatility of being able to fit in a lot of places along the back line in case of injury. That gives us some of the speed that we've been so sorely lacking out wide.

Finally, to balance our back row alongside Stander (at 8) and O'Mahony, I'd take a genuine jackal at 7. Either Tipuric or Watson would do fine - size would be no issue alongside what we've already got. That would make a XV that would be tough to beat.

France: Picamoles, Baille
Scotland: Hogg, Seymour
Ireland: Stander, Sexton
England: Luancbury, Cole

Baille, Owens, Cole, AWJ, Launcbury, Stander, Warburton, Picamoles, Webb, Sexton, Seymour, Scott, JD2, North, Hogg

Why would you want 3 scrum halves from other sides, Gori, Serin and Webb

From England
Farrell
Launchberry
Ireland
McGrath
Furlong
Scotland
Hogg
Russell
Italy
Campagnero
France
Maestri
Serin
Sorry can't think of another Italian

England:
Itoje
Launchbury

Wales:
North
Williams

Scotland:
Strauss
Hogg

France:
Picamoles
Guiardo

Italy:
? Really haven't concentrated enough on them to know. I know one of them wouldn't be Parisse though. Great player in ways but I think Italy will actually improve now if he goes - too much of everything seems to go through him.

Not saying I would use them all at the same time. Just who I rate at one would strength our team

England
Lauchbury
Farrell

Ireland
Sexton
CJ Stander

Scotland
J Gray
Hogg

Wales
Williams
Warburton

Italy
Campagnaro
Whoever is their best TH

Baille Guirado Slimani
Gray Launchberry
Warburton Picamoles Gourdon
Serin Sexton
Farrell Campagnaro
Williams Hogg nakaitaci

Subs : ben arous, chat, Italian TH. Vahamahina. CJ stander. Dupont. Lopez. Fickou.

Guirado, Serin
Warburton, Webb
Stander, Sexton
Hogg, Seymour
Campagnaro, Venditti

In all honesty, I wouldn't add all those to England's 23.
