8 Ireland stars, 1 England : PlanetRugby

With the 2024 Six Nations now done and dusted, we gave our readers the opportunity to vote for their Team of the Six Nations, and over 15,000 did.

A huge thank you to everyone who voted and consumed our content throughout the tournament.

After clinching back-to-back titles, Ireland players dominate the selections, with eight of Andy Farrell’s stars voted into the team.

Three of France’s stars are joined by two Scotland backs, two of Italy’s best, and just one of Steve Borthwick’s England players cracks the XV.

So, without further ado, here is your Team of the Tournament.

Planet Rugby Readers’ Team of the 2024 Six Nations

15 Hugo Keenan (Ireland): The evergreen fullback just edged France’s Thomas Ramos for a place in the team despite missing two of the Championship matches. It was a two-horse race for the jumper, with Keenan getting 39% of the votes ahead of Ramos’ 36%, with Wales’ Cameron Winnett and Ange Capuozzo collectively making up 25%.

14 Damian Penaud (France): One clear winner as the livewire French stole the show on the pitch and dominated the voting with 69%. Ireland’s Calvin Nash and England’s Tommy Freeman each collected 11% of the votes, with Louis Lynagh claiming just 9%. Penaud only scored one try in the Championship but clearly caught the eye of the fans.

13 Juan Ignacio Brex (Italy): A key cog in the Azzurri backline and a driving force in their success this Six Nations. After claiming two Man of the Match awards, Brex won over the supporters as he claimed 53% of the votes for the outside centre role, beating Gael Fickou (16%), Robbie Henshaw (14%) and Huw Jones (17%).

12 Bundee Aki (Ireland): A superstar for Farrell’s charges as he ramped over defenders and was just as astute on defence, Aki is clearly one of the best in the business. Like Brex, he was the clear winner for the jumper, collecting 56% of the public’s votes. Brex’s midfield partner, Tommaso Menoncello, took 33% of the votes, with Ollie Lawrence (8%) and Sione Tuipulotu (3%) taking the rest.

11 Duhan van der Merwe (Scotland): Again, there were two frontrunners in the joint top scorer Van der Merwe and Ireland star James Lowe. In the end, the Scotland star edged Lowe with 46% of the votes to Lowe’s 41%. Both players had fantastic tournaments, but there could only be one winner.

10 Finn Russell (Scotland): The fly-half jumper was one of the most hotly contested role, with the Scottish playmaker collecting 32% of the votes to beat Ireland’s Jack Crowley (30%), Poalo Garbisi (20%) and George Ford (18%).

9 Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland): The heartbeat of the Irish attack as he guided the side to another Six Nations title. Gibson-Park caught the eye of the fans, 64% of whom voted for him in…
