First XV

Here is our Six Nations Team of the Week

Ireland’s dominance against the champions ensured they have the lion’s share of jerseys this week.

TWO GAMES AND two wins for Ireland, but Saturday’s win over the reigning champions was certainly the most impressive result of the Joe Schmidt era so far.

While France also put back-to-back wins together and England kept Scotland pointless, it was Ireland who were by far the best performers of the weekend.

Their reward? Nine spaces in TheScore.ie’s Team of the Week. Here’s how the first XV shaped up.

15. Rob Kearney.

14. Andrew Trimble.

13. Luther Burrell.

12. Wesley Fofana.

11. Hugo Bonneval.

10. Jonathan Sexton.

2. Rory Best.

3. Nicolas Mas.

4. Devin Toner.

5. Paul O’Connell.
