England's Mike Brown had a stellar Six Nations 2014 campaign averaging nearly 400 points in www.testrugby.com . Brown scored four tries, two assists, 13 line breaks, 29 go forwards, one turnover, nine tackles, two lineouts, 19 catches of kicks and lost possession twice according to the definitions. He was the player of Six Nations 2014.
Other players to impress and gain inclusion in the Six Nations XV Team of 2014 include big Billy Vunipola who despite playing only half of a Six Nations campaign was a go forward machine with 23 go forwards in two games.
Owen Farrell gained selection courtesy of a strong final round to just pip Ireland's Johnny Sexton for selection. Who would you choose?
The Six Nations XV Team of 2014 includes a strong Irish forward pack, while England players were selected in the crucial 8,9, 10 and fullback positions. Wales provided a sprinkling of players, while Italy had one player.
Ireland dominated the team, although it is surprising that no French players made the team.
