Four Ireland players are named in the Six Nations Team of the Tournament, a stark contrast to England's absence despite their sole victory. Scotland's Kyle Steyn, Finn Russell and Rory Darge secure spots after Scotland's remarkable recovery from an opening loss to Italy, finishing third with three wins. Italy's Giacomo Nicotera, Simone Ferrari and Tommaso Menoncello reflect their team's two-match success, while Wales' Rhys Carre stands alone after Wales' high-scoring finale against Italy.

England's only win came against Wales in their opener, but their fifth-place finish with just eight points marks their worst Six Nations record. This selection underscores Ireland's tournament dominance and England's struggles.
