Great work! A worthy 15, apart from Ntmack. It is quite obvious the ferners only watched the end of year tour, as he played pretty average throughout the year, when he played (he missed a bit) and often not at 10!
I think, like Gobby Itoje, Samisoni got in on the highlights reel too, I voted for him cos he was a joy to watch!
I quick glance though shows McCaw as the name appearing over the year the most, I think
I've got a list of that in my spreadsheet but have not updated yet. It's a dumb spreadsheet so have to do that manually as am not clever enough to do a database.

Here's that last table updated with the 2019 results added in (I'm in the middle of putting this on the front page)

L’Equipe 2021 rugby team of the year:
- Jordie Barrett (New Zealand), 14. Will Jordan (New Zealand), 13. Rieko Ioane (New Zealand), 12. Lukhanyo Am (South Africa), 11. Louis Rees-Zammit (Wales), 10. Romain Ntamack (France), 9. Antoine Dupont (France)
1 Cyril Baille (France), 2. Julien Marchand (France), 3. Tadhg Furlong (Ireland), 4. Maro Itoje (England), 5. Eben Etzebeth (South Africa), 6. Siya Kolisi (South Africa), 7. Michael Hooper (Australia), 8. Ardie Savea (New Zealand).
I can't decide between a. the writer must be an outside back hence the order or b. the writer must be a tight forward (hence France at 1 and 2, and Tadhg isn't a bad choice at 3) so it doesn't matter who the back three are.. (and quite frankly our midfield has been mostly hit and miss this year).

@Chris-B Beauden is also a tinny bastard. Shit just seems to happen for him. I'm actually a big fan of Jordan so happy to see him getting regular game time, he's the kind of guy that can break open a tight test.
Beauden was a tinny bastard. Or maybe he still is but no longer trusts his tinniness (apart from some nice intercepts). But said t-factor was less obvious this season IMO.

15 B Barrett (NZ)I thought 8 D Vermeulen (SA) was great this year .. or maybe I missed some important games.
Would anyone rather have Ardie than him at 8? -

Whenever Samisoni played, it was likely to be highlights reel material...did he have a bad game in black this year?

Would anyone rather have Ardie than him at 8?So did the majority of TSF. Not sure of your point?
