Titolo: XV ideale della settimana.

Ci sono 7 azzurri nel XV ideale schierato da Planet Rugby dopo la 
giornata del 6 Nazioni che si ï¿œ chiusa ieri.
Si tratta di Masi, Canale, Mirco Bergamasco, Semenzato, Parisse. 
Barbieri e Castrogiovanni.
Questa la squadra completa. Notare il giudizio su Semenzato.
15 Andrea Masi (Italy) - Chris Paterson is deserving of a mention for 
that try-saving tackle on Ben Foden along with solid goal-kicking but 
Masi will marshal our team from the back.
14 Chris Ashton (England) - If you watch the Saints wing for five 
minutes you will see him always looking for the shoulder of a carrying 
team-mate. No wonder he is a constant threat.
13 Gonzalo Canale (Italy) - Who better to face Aurï¿œlien Rougerie than 
one of his Clermont mates. Canale hit some fine lines for the Azzurri, 
however, containing Rougerie was critical.
12 Shontayne Hape (England) - Arguably the number that saw all six 
players struggle for top form. But for his strong defence against a 
threatening Scottish midfield, Hape gets the nod.
11 Mirco Bergamasco (Italy) - Now this was the toughest selection of the 
week as Max Evans was his usual impressive self, scoring a fine try. But 
we had to go for Italy's hero.
10 James Hook (Wales) - Warren Gatland has his World Cup number ten. 
Hook was assured both out of hand and with the boot and put the Welsh in 
the right areas.
9 Fabio Semenzato (Italy) - For so long the scrum-half position has been 
Italy's Achilles heel. No more, as Semezato has fitted in with ease, 
making the right calls at the right times.
8 Sergio Parisse (Italy) - If anyone is more deserving of a victory like 
the one on Saturday then we can't think of him. Parisse is the heart and 
soul of this team and led from the front.
7 James Haskell (England) - A boost for the 'brand'. Wonder if more 
people will check out his new itunes app after this mixture of the dark 
arts and the showcasing of his running.
6 Robert Barbieri (Italy) - It was a warrior-like 57 minutes from the 
Treviso back-row and one that forces him on the blindside. Sean O'Brien 
and Tom Wood both played well.
5 Alun-Wyn Jones (Wales) - No question that this was the Osprey's 
strongest international performance in 2011 so far. He was strong at the 
line-out and carried superbly for Wales.
4 Richie Gray (Scotland) - Glasgow's most promising player has made the 
Planet Rugby number four shirt his own this season. Another all-action 
effort that kept England guessing.
3 Martin Castrogiovanni (Italy) - Many knew that if Italy were to do the 
unthinkable, Castro would have to get the better of Sylvain Marconnet. 
The latter being dropped tells the story.
2 Matthew Rees (Wales) - We don't like to reward someone for doing 
something not in the laws of the game but Rees created what was the 
winning try. A mention for Dylan Hartley.
1 Alex Corbisiero (England) - Some believed that the London Irish 
youngster struggled to make ground against the Scots but we feel his 
work-rate and dynamism was a boost.

 making the right calls at the right times.
Positivo il fatto che ristabilito anche Gori (o lo abbiamo già 
dimenticato ?) avremo due mediani validi ed interscambiabili.
