Team of the Week: Sweet-smelling Roses
While Eddie Jones' England team may not be the most exciting in the Northern Hemisphere championship, they are certainly the most clinical and effective.
Ireland, who won their first match of the tournament in putting more than 50 points past a hapless Italy, provide the biggest chunk of our staring XV - five.
That is one more than England.
However, another five English players have made it into our back-up squad - giving them nine in total.
Apart from Ireland and England, other teams represented in the first-choice selection are Wales, Scotland (two each), Italy and France (one each).
Scotland, in the wake of their effective demolition of France, join England as the biggest contributors to our back-up squad.
Along with the five England players, there are four Scotsmen, three Irishmen, two Welshmen and a Frenchman.
Our team also has a very familiar look about it, nine players returning from week three - fullback Stuart Hogg (Scotland), wings Anthony Watson (England) and 11 Jack Nowell (England), centre , 13 Michele Campagnaro (Italy), flyhalf Dan Biggar (Wales), scrumhalf Conor Murray (Ireland), lock Maro Itoje (England), prop Willem Nel (Scotland) and hooker Guilhem Guirado (France).
Team of the Week - Round Four:
15 - Stuart Hogg (Scotland):
By some distance the most consistent of all the fullbacks and a key player to the Scottish team.
Bubbling under: Mike Brown (England)
14 - Anthony Watson (England):
He has now firmly established himself as an institution in the team and a potent attacking weapon.
Bubbling under: Andrew Trimble (Ireland)
13 - Michele Campagnaro (Italy):
Definitely the Azzurri's best player this season.
Bubbling under: Duncan Taylor (Scotland)
12 - Owen Farrell (England):
Fulfills that second flyhalf role - which is key to Eddie Jones' success - to perfection.
Bubbling under: Alex Dunbar (Scotland)
11 - Jack Nowell (England):
The other half of England's double-barrel 'shotgun' on attack. Some serious competition from George North, but unfortunately the Welshman missed more tackles than he made.
Bubbling under: George North (Wales)
10 - Dan Bigger (Wales):
So much more depth to his game that the comical dance move when he kicks. Despite his occasional defensive lapses, he is the key to the Welsh backline.
Bubbling under: Jonathan Sexton (Ireland)
9 - Conor Murray (Ireland):
Maybe not as flash as some other scrumhalves, but he does the basics well and ensure the flyhalf gets quality ball and time to make decisions.
Bubbling under: Maxime Machenaud (France)
8 - Taulupe Faletau (Wales):
Seen as mainly a basher, but - his impressive carrying statistics aside - he is very effective on defence and as valuable asset in the line-outs.
Bubbling under: Jamie Heaslip (Ireland)
7 - Josh van der Flier (Ireland):
No longer the 'no-name brand' he was at the start of the season.
Bubbling under: John Hardie (Scotland)
6 - CJ Stander (Ireland):
What a revelation he has been in the Six Nations!
Bubbling under: Chris Robshaw (England)
5 - Devin Toner (Ireland):
He is becoming a rock in the Irish tight forwards combination.
Bubbling under: George Kruis (England)
4 - Maro Itoje (England):
Was not a starter from the outset, but may well have jumped ahead in the pecking order in the second row.
Bubbling under: Richie Gray (Scotland)
Not flawless, but a rock in the Scotland scrum and a real workhorse.
Bubbling under: Samson Lee (Wales)
2 - Guilhem Guirado (France):
While his teammates have displayed their usual temperamental and erratic nature, he the one consistent feature in a disappointing French season.
Bubbling under: Dylan Hartley (England)
1 - Jack McGrath (Ireland):
Another player who used this season to establish himself at the top of the totem pole in his position.
Bubbling under: Joe Marler (England)
