Brad Shields was the man to have in Guinness Six Nations Fantasy Rugby as he top scored with 112.5 points in Round Four.

Unsurprisingly he makes it into the Fantasy Dream XV, the best possible line-up a manager could have picked in Round Four.

The back-rower’s two tries helped England to a 57-14 win at Twickenham, with his performance including 20 tackles and three defenders beaten while he carried for 55 metres.

His teammate George Kruis also makes the pack, with his 75.5 points for his try-scoring performance helping him to the second-highest total in the pack.

Fellow lock James Ryan grabbed 60 points as the second row proved fruitful for Guinness Six Nations Fantasy Rugby managers with a man-of-the-match display.

Ireland replacement Jack Conan (55.1 points) and Wales back-rower Josh Navidi (52.7 points) also get the nod as their 16 and 22 tackles respectively helped them to win loose forward spots.

Demba Bamba and Camille Chat had 22 and 22.6 points respectively as they make the front row alongside Wales’ Tomas Francis – who was the top scoring front-rower in Round Four with 37.6 points.

Fliers Joe Cokanasiga (92.9 points) and Jordan Larmour (57.8 points) make the XV after their respective strong displays, including the Irishman’s star turn in his side’s 26-14 win over France.

The destructive Manu Tuilagi also gets the nod after he racked up 86.5 points as he carried for 82 metres and beat four defenders on his way to two tries.

Wales pair Liam Williams (22.6 points) and Hadleigh Parkes (63.9 points) take their places in the back line after helping their side to see off Scotland 18-11 at BT Murrayfield.

Meanwhile he half-back spots are filled by France’s Antoine Dupont and Ireland’s Johnny Sexton to complete the XV.
