Scrumqueens Team of the Six Nations

It has?˜not been an easy task by any means, with some of the most notable players and leading scorers?˜just missing out, highlighting the competitiveness of the competition.?˜?˜

A key part of?˜the only opposition?˜pack that trully neutralised the French threat, but was also at the heart of an impressive Italian defensive that got better and better as the tournament went on.

The Wales captain started her championship superbly, leading her team to a win over Wales and contributing with a flying tally of tackles, carries and set piece work for her side.?˜ Part of a very dangerous Welsh backrow, she beats off excellent competition for this shirt including Ireland??s

There are more subtle number 8s in the game but probably none as powerful and threatening with ball in hand. N??Diaye is the key go-to player in the French pack and the French management may rue not starting her in the loss to Italy.?˜?˜and?˜?˜were also superb this season.
