UM: Captained Ireland to a series win in New Zealand. I think he's had a very, very good series. UM: He kicked six from seven in the third Test and scored the winning try. He was so impressive, kicked the winning goal in the first Test and was outstanding throughout in a variety of positions. UM: If South Africa go with a 6/2 bench then Willemse can be the new Frans Steyn. But South Africa's Damian Willemse can play 10, 12 or 15 and covers the backline on our bench. He rarely makes mistakes both sides of the ball.ĬJ: Owen Farrell was back to being Owen Farrell this series, and that is a massive compliment for the Englishman. Defensively he is so abrasive, and he fulfils the simple tasks in attack.
He is the 'domestique' type of rugby player who just gets on with his job. Robbie Henshaw (Ireland)ĬJ: Robbie Henshaw is a shoo-in in the midfield. He is brilliant.ĬJ: After missing the Six Nations, George North looked back on form for Wales, while Scotland's Mark Bennett was very impressive after a tough few years and makes our bench. He showed what a world-class finisher he is with limited ball and limited opportunity.ĬJ: New Zealand's Will Jordan almost deserves a place for that third-Test try alone. UM: After a disappointing Six Nations he was back to his best. The great Ireland full-back Rob Kearney said: "It's his fitness, his aerobic conditioning and his work-rate which makes him so impressive." 14.
Hugo Keenan (Ireland)ĬJ: England's Freddie Steward is incredibly unlucky to miss out, but Hugo Keenan was one of Ireland's best players in New Zealand. Hear them explain their choices on the latest episode of the podcast - and have your say in the comments section at the bottom of this article.
