Interesting to see what team would be picked based on statistics alone
I wonder if even half of these will actually make the first team? Brown Zebo Foxy Farrell Liam Williams Biggar Webb furlong Ken owens mcgrath Lawes Launchbury stander tipuric heaslip |

Zebo, Biggar, Lawes and Heaslip would consider themselves lucky to tour let alone start. Shows that stats don't always paint a full picture.

Mike Brown can be added to that list. Had a horrible tournament. All he seems capable of doing is running head down into contact. Very rarely passes the ball and offers zero attacking threat.

Totally agree Pritchy. Think his England days are numbered with Daly & Watson offering far more in attack. He, like Halfpenny, offers nothing in attack.

That's basically a high work rate low error count 15 and it looks like it hasn't been weighted too much based on position.
2 of the back 3 didn't score a try all tournament and the 10 didn't create a try all tournament, you'd think that those would be some of the key stats focused on for those positions.

Got a link to these stats, Roy? Even the shambles that is the Western Mail couldn't come up with some of these. What was Biggar's stat? Most gobbing off to officials? Playing more minutes than any other 10 with his arms outstretched? Or least contribution by an outside half in 6N history to tries being scored?

Think Hogg is the only nailed on tourist at fullback. |

Barclay won't tour. Stander, O'Brien, O'Mahoney, Haskell, Warburton, Moriarty, Tipuric are all more likely to be chosen at flanker and maybe even Robshaw on reputation.
But you can add Rob Evans to or tourists I think. Edited by SospanMawr - 24 March 2017 at 3:01am |
