RBS 6 Nations Player Of The Tournament Shortlist

by Dugald Skene

You may have seen by now the official 12 man RBS 6 Nations shortlist for the Player of the Championship award.  It should be noted that it is made up from those players that have won Man of the Match awards in the 12 games played so far, hence why it looks so skewed.

It is clearly farcical that the likes of Stephen Ferris, Owen Farrell and Wesley Fofana are not on the list, so it's only right that I compile my own list which I think is a truer representation of form through the 2012 6 Nations to date:

• Stephen Ferris
• Leigh Halfpenny
• Thierry Dusautoir
• Sam Warburton
• David Denton
• Richie Gray
• Owen Farrell
• Wesley Fofana
• Brad Barritt
• Tommy Bowe
• Ross Rennie
• Sergio Parisse

What do you think?  Honourable mentions to Imanol Harinordoquy, Rory Best, Ross Ford, George North, Alex Cuthbert, Rob Kearney, Nicolas Mas, Alessandro Zani & Dan Lydiate.
