Here is the Six Nations 2013 XV Team of the Competition based on average statistics. What do you think?
The Six Nations 2013 is over with Wales stealing the title from England, while Scotland and Italy grabbed third and fourth ahead of the more fancied Ireland and France.
Italy punched above their weight in Six Nations 2013 thanks in part to captain Sergio Parisse who was the www.testrugby.com Top Average Points Scorer of the Competition. He averaged 360 points per game and would have had the highest total points if he didn't miss one match through suspension. Parisse averaged 7 go forwards, 6 tackles and 3 lineout wins per game.
The second highest average points were from France's Louis Picamoles who showed that Number Eights have a great opportunity for points. He averaged 312 points per game including 7 go forwards, 4 tackles and 3 caught kicks. Leigh Halfpenny averaged 311 points mainly through his average of 5 goalkicks, 4 catches and 3 go forwards.
Here is the Six Nations 2013 XV Team of the Competition based on average www.testrugby.com points. Players must also have been in the top 20 on points for that position to have their average points considered. We have separated players out into positions within the loose classifications for example
1 hooker
2 props
2 locks
3 loose forwards
1 halfback
1 first five eighth
2 midfield backs
2 wingers
1 fullback
The Six Nations 2013 XV Team of the Competition by country includes
4 England
3 Wales
3 Italy
2 Ireland
2 France
1 Scotland
In many ways this shows the relative strength of the sides. Italy and Ireland players in the Six Nations 2013 XV Team of the Competition are in the forwards, while Wales and Scotland have players in the backs only. France's Wesley Fofana scored more points once he shifted from the wing into the midfield for France.
