Team of the 2014 6 Nations

Player of the TournamentGaelle Mignot (pictured) The French hooker and stand-in captain wears her heart on her sleeve and often lets emotion get the better of her – not this year. Mignot was inspirational in the French front row and her passion and lead-by-example attitude was a huge part of her side’s success.

Plenty of excellent players miss out in our team, such was the talent to choose from this season. Scotland are not represented below but Steph Johnson is one who is unlucky to miss out having come of age in difficult circumstances this year and there were others who can consider themselves very unlucky not to be named. For France Marjorie Mayans and Shannon Izar just miss out after a great season in midfield for the champions. England's Tamara Taylor and Katy McLean were also in the mix while Ireland's Sophie Spence, Niamh Briggs and Claire Molloy were also considered. For Italy Manuela Furlan has been prominent as has Ilaria Arigetti and Wales have some stellar backrow talent just edged out.
