London Before the Six Nations began, we had a con-flab here in the 主播大秀 Sport website office about who would be in our combined team of the tournament.
After three rounds of action, our original team have not entirely justified our faith in them...Only six of the original XV make our latest combined XV, which has been based on aggregating my selections with four of my colleagues.
Controversially (or not given the results/?), there's no room for a single player from Scotland, Wales - or England.
We will revisit the subject after the final two rounds. Anyway, see what you think..

London - France have had to replace prop Sylvain Marconnet ahead of Sunday鈥檚 Six Nations game with England after .
Our sympathies go out to Marconnet, who will be out for up to four months after suffering what French team doctor Thierry Hermerel described as a 鈥渂ad break鈥.
But it has to be asked, 鈥榟e was doing what?鈥
I don鈥檛 want to accuse the French of being laissez faire, but surely all professional sportsmen have it written into their contracts that pastimes such as skiing are banned for exactly the reason Marconnet has so spectacularly illustrated?

Here's my team of the tournament so far:
15) Girvan Demspey (Ireland) - Best of an average bunch. Not too many great full-backs around at the moment and perhaps a shame that Josh Lewsey hasn't been playing there for England.
14) Shane Horgan (Ireland) -With Dominici on one wing I wanted a bit more firepower here. Picks great lines. great footballing skills. Great finisher.
13) Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland) - I think this boy has potential and could one day develop into a decent player.

Here's my team of the tournament so far:
15 Clement Poitrenaud (Safe, great hands and a good counter attacker)
14 Shane Horgan (Literally head and shoulders over any other contenders)
13 Brian O'Driscoll (You could play him anywhere, but outside centre will do)

Here's my team of the tournament so far:
15 Clement Poitrenaud 鈥 Girvan Dempsey is a reassuring presence and Kevin Morgan excelled before injury struck again, but the Frenchman has rediscovered his 茅lan.
14 Shane Horgan 鈥 Missed the opener against Wales and not so happy at inside centre against France, but the big wing was back to his barnstorming best against England.
13 Brian O鈥橠riscoll 鈥 Tom Shanklin has given Wales more of a cutting edge since his return from injury but the Ireland captain remains the class act of the field.
