Six Nations 2026: Four Ireland players named in team of tournament but no England players selected

Wing Kyle Steyn, fly-half Finn Russell and back row Rory Darge are named from a Scotland side which recovered from an opening defeat by Italy to claim three wins and secure third place in the championship.

Italy won two matches in finishing fourth in the table, with their performance reflected in the selection of hooker Giacomo Nicotera, prop Simone Ferrari and centre Tommaso Menoncello.

Prop Rhys Carre, who went over for a storming score against Ireland, is the sole representative from Wales, who finished their campaign on a high by sealing victory over the Italians.

England’s only win of the tournament came against Wales in their opening game as their fifth-place finish, with just eight points, was their worst in the history of the Six Nations.

Six Nations Team of the Tournament: Thomas Ramos (France); Kyle Steyn (Scotland), Tommaso Menoncello (Italy), Stuart McCloskey (Ireland), Louis Bielle-Biarrey (France); Finn Russell (Scotland), Antoine Dupont (France); Rhys Carre (Wales), Giacomo Nicotera (Italy), Simone Ferrari (Italy), Tadhg Beirne (Ireland), Mickael Guillard (France), Jack Conan (Ireland), Rory Darge (Scotland), Caelan Doris (Ireland).
