Astute Guardian Readers

A look at various media shows that most agree, generally, on top performing players of last weekend, with some tight calls in the back-row and front row. The readers of the Guardian seem to disagree, and have 11 English players in the team of the weekend. Some interesting picks. Even though Ireland - France was clearly the stand out game of the weekend, and the only match of a decent standard, only one player makes the cut, French centre Rougerie. Only one "outsider" makes the pack, Welsh flanker Dan Lydiate, curious given the fact that Sam Warburton and Thierry Dusatoir were both named as the stand out performers in their respective games.
