Pro 12 Dream team

This is the Pro12 ‘Dream Team’ 2016/17, 11 Irish based players have been named, including 6 from Munster.

What are your thoughts? Any players missed that should be there?

I think Parks from the Scarlets is a bit unlucky not to make it ahead of either Scannell or Taute. Perhaps also Josh Navidi, but in fairness to Davies, he is a nightmare to deal with at ruck time, always is very influential in games. Tips would also have been a good shout for 7, but may have missed a fair few games on international duty.

Can't really argue with many of the selections, even though Leinster have been the best attacking team this season, they have rotated the squad a lot, meaning not many players have truely stood out. This is a massive compliment to the coaching team, to have that consistancy despite all the rotation is incredible.
