We have Six Nations Teams of the Tournament coming out our blindside this week but we thought we'd squeeze one more in thanks to one brilliant line from former England centre Will Greenwood.

Writing in the Telegraph, Greenwood outlines his picks for a Six Nations best XV and there's room for a hefty six Irishmen. Tommy Bowe, Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray, Peter O'Mahony, Paul O'Connell and, perhaps most surprisingly, Rory Best were all given the nod.

However, what is most interesting is what Greenwood had to say about a man that Munster and Ireland fans have long been championing but who hasn't maybe been given the recognition he deserves outside our island.

In outlining why Peter O'Mahony edged out James Haskell and Dan Lydiate, Greenwood delivered this superb analysis of the Munster man with the final line in particular being something that O'Mahony is fully deserving of.

O’Mahony in Edinburgh carried enough to be the headline act but the Heaslip tackle again denied him the airtime. But he topped and tailed this tournament with his excellence. And what a player to have alongside you.

If all the wild horsemen of the apocalypse came around the corner he would charge straight back at them.

O'Mahony's performance in the second half in Murrayfield truly was a sight to behold and it's only fitting that he's singled out for that kind of praise.
