The www.testrugby.com points are out and the Six Nations Team of the Round Three contains only Dylan Hartley from the England vs France top of the table clash.  This match was very tight and low scoring with only one try (above).  Ireland were the main benefactors this round with five players in this team after their victory over Scotland.  The Italian loose forward Sergio Parisse was the top player of the round and was joined in the team by countryman Leonardo Ghiraldini.  The Wales centres flourished against Italy, while Richie Gray remains great value at lock.

There is now a one week break in the Six Nations.  Managers need to think about the draw and select point scorers against Italy and Scotland.  The re-allocation of 10 trades is also very useful.  England look favourites to win the Six Nations and you will get some good points out of their try scoring outside backs and Toby Flood going forward.
