The Team of the Round features a high number of Wales players despite their defeat to France. I guess when you are down to 14 players then you get more chance to shine. Sam Warburton not surprisingly didn't make this team, although team-mates Huw Bennet, Alun Wyn Jones, Toby Faletau, Mike Phillips and Jamie Roberts can take some consolation in knowing that they contribute the most players to this team, while Australia contributes no one.
