British and Irish lions ranking: tobacco van der Merwe, Jack Conan and Jac Morgan on the rise | News of rugby
Who made his claim for the selection of British and Irish lions? Sky Sports Crunches numbers from the 3rd round of six nations to find out…
While the discussion of the rumble over some choices for Andy Farrela, others already look in stone.
James Lowe looks nailed to a test starter, but who will be on the second wing when the lions go out to Wallabies in Brisbane on July 19? Good, Tobacco Van der Merwe It is mounted as strongly as any.
Van der Merwe showed his unpaid features with a ruthless representation of an attacking force, which is over – and should probably – direct Scotland to a record fifth consecutive Calcutt Cup.
The 29-year-old continued his role as the main tormentor of England, chasing men Steve Borthwick with his record seventh attempt by Calcutt Cup after setting Huwa Jones in the first half.
No candidate for lions recorded more strings, or try or pierce an assist, but Van der Merwe in the 3rd round of six nations, while only teammate Blair Kinghorn surpassed him for worn meters and meters obtained.
Scotland would eventually leave the Allianz empty -hand stadium, but, on a bitter day, Van der Merwe left the massive improved credentials of his lions.
No player shows the power of depth at disposal to Irish more than Jack Conan.
Six champions in six peoples were without captain Caelan Doris for their trip to the 3rd round in Cardiff, but Conan once again proved to be a deputy more than more.
His introductory attempt ensured that he had taken the most for Ireland because they maintained their high hopes at the slam live triple goals of Crown Cinking 27-18 victories over Wales.
Unknown Doris, the leading candidate for the captain’s lions, looks high order, but Conan’s impressive, consistent and consistent performances at least need to secure his position as a tournament lion.
To those who think the record of 15. The defeat would end the hope that any Velski contingent would make a Lions team, think again!
Through one of the darkest periods in the history of the Velsk rugby, Jac MorganThe performances and leadership were given a glimmer of hope – a light that leads the nation from darkness.
He led Saturday’s appearance against Ireland, and although he may have finished defeat, Welsh Rugby and his captain were winners.
Only Rory Darge, 55, hit several hands of 47 goals against Ireland by Morgan, who was the second highest ball carrier (12) in the 3th round and ended up in the first five for the fights completed (14).
Morgan also moved to the attempt and showed his ability to fight veterans with a line interruption against Ireland – another reminder that he possesses the primary characteristic for the Lions player: the ability to perform under pressure.
If the disappearance of Ireland over Wales was not bad enough due to injury, Hugo Keenan had to watch his main rival for lions 15 shirts took the opportunity in his absence.
Van der Merwe rightly claimed a match award player in twickenham, but supported him equally impressive appearance from Blair Kinghorn.
No lions of hopes made more fractures (3) or wearing (22), wore the ball further (183 m) or made more meters to win (128 m) from the full Bek Toulouse, who did everything in his power, and yet it is He was still unable to prevent Scotland surrender to Calcutta Cup.
Kinghorn’s full -back subpavies are aligned with a namesake Blair Murray of Wales, who beat the most veterans (11) in the 3rd round, ranked with an articular tip for an assists (1) attempt (1), a common second to interrupt the lines (2) and the third for the meter (78 m) for insurance to ensure his place among the five highest scorers.
