Irish players dominate the best team after winning the championship
. Only played three times and eclipsed by George Furbank at Twickenham, but three key defensive plays in Marseille, lit up the win over Italy and didn’t put a foot wrong when shifting to the wing for 40 minutes against England.. Only the one try on opening night but was France’s most consistent threat and finished with the most line breaks and offloads in the tournament and joint most try assists ..
. Although Duan van der Merwe was joint highest try scorer with five, Lowe again showed why he is probably the leading all-round winger in European rugby with his huge carries, offloads and monster boot.. In the post-Sexton era, Crowley played every minute. Shone under the Velodrome lights, took his first try against Italy nicely and even in Twickenham had two lovely involvements. Carried and tackled well too. Paolo Garbisi and George Ford also good..
