It may have been a disappointing Guinness Six Nations on the pitch but England fans certainly made up for it in Fantasy Rugby.

Eddie Jones’ side are set for a fifth-place finish in the Championship table but England supporters have gained some silverware by topping the Fantasy Rugby League of Nations.

All England fans combined for a whopping 4678 points across the Championship, just pipping Wales to the post to become Fantasy Rugby kings.

Wales supporters will hope that’s not a sign of things to come on the field, with France bidding to swoop in and knock them off top spot on Friday night against Scotland.

But they can be proud of their Fantasy efforts, accumulating 4599 points to finish in the runners-up spot – with many no doubt cashing in on Louis Rees-Zammit’s excellent form.

Ireland fans finished third – just three points behind Wales! – while Scotland made it an all-home unions top four with 4581.

France supporters will certainly take a fifth-place finish in Fantasy land if it means their side become champions on the field, while Italy were not far behind in sixth.
