Such is my love for the Six Nations every year my friends and rugby acquaintances take part in the ESPN fantasy rugby league which is found at www.scrum.fantasyleague.com to say I take it seriously is like saying Blackpool isn’t that bad.
So I thought I’d take you through my team for the tournament
Head First RFC
Chris Ashton: much touted to be the top try scorer of the tournament
Maxime Medard: France are my pick to do well and as such a French winger will be a commodity
Keith Earls: It would have been Tommy Bowe but as with Medard I need a try scorer for Ireland vs Italy
James Hook: Arguably the first name on anyone’s team sheet how effective he will be at f
ullback who knows?
Brian O’Driscoll: I imagine he’d pick up a man of the match award or two.
Jonathan Sexton: in fine form for Leinster and brings a freshness to the Ireland squad

Morgan Parra: Strong candidate for man of the match as he runs the show and offers the boot
Dan Lydiate: Bit risky to pick him ahead of Harinordoquy and Parisse but who dares
Thierry Dusautoir: French Captain and a strategic pick
Tom Wood: Much Touted by the journo’s so let’s see what we’ve got
Pau
l O’Connell: Strong consistant performer gives 110%
Alun Wyn Jones: Ospreys Captain and always a good workhorse
Nicolas Mas: part of that strong French front row
Martin Catsrogiovanni: Strong scrummaging in the H Cup and I’d expect much the same for Italy
Matthew Rees: Will need to inspire the entire welsh team but could his props let him down?
