Imanol Harinordoquy has been immense. Personally think he is the best 8 in the world at the mo and i am absolutely gutted he’s French! Nick Easter – watch and learn!!!

Shane who? No Brian O’Driscoll then?
Can’t argue with the French selections though.

Was rather surprised not to see Louis Deacon included on this list!!

Harinordiquy for sure. He’s been immense. Agreed that Shane Williams has produced about 4 or 5 moments of brilliance and done absolutely nothing else – at the same time what England wouldn’t give for a game breaker like him.

Jonathan Davies’s French pronunciations are hilarious, not least his insistence on pronouncing Jauzion ‘Jwazwan’. It surely can’t be that difficult. At least it’s proof that he does occasionally notice that there is a team other than Wales on the pitch whom he can comment on.

No surprise at the French dominance but I think Trinh-Duc has done enough to at least be shortlisted. Admittedly I totally missed their game against Italy last weekend but I think he’s maturing in to a great 10.

From the above list though, I think I’d also go with Harinordiquy with Parra not far behind. He could certainly teach Danny Care a thing or two.

Can’t really argue with that although I feel that Shane Williams should only get a 20% selection as his flair has been limited to the last 20% of the games he’s played in

As for Harinordoquy – when will someone take Jonathan Davies on one side and tell him it’s not pronounced Harridonnakey?!?!?

No England players, really? Come to think of it, would any England player be in the 6N XV?

I think that’s an outstanding selection. Yeah ok i’m french…

Imanol Harinordoquy player of the tournament by far! He’s been brilliant from the beginning of the championship, hope he’ll be good against the English and he will absolutely deserve the award.

Fairly boring selections though don’t you think? I did
