The final weekend of the Six Nations is almost upon us and soon we find out if Ireland will manage to retain last years win, or if England can steal the glory.
However, the real question that everyone wants the answer too is… which fantasy picks will allow me to win my fantasy league?

- Schoeman has consistently scored 15+ points in every round.
- One of Scotland’s main ball carries
- One of the top try-scoring props of the tournament so far

- Likes to attempt turnovers
- A more budget friendly pick

- Second highest try scorer of the tournament so far – likely to score off driving mauls
- Playing in a must win game

Jamie George (England)
- Captain so likely to stay on for the full 80
- 13 international tries to his name – likely to score off driving mauls
SECOND ROWS:
Dafydd Jenkins (Wales)
- young and powerful
- Can play second row and back row – scored 34 points last week at 6
- Second most tackles made in the tournament so far at 67 tackles
