So it was the ending we all wanted (in Wales anyway).

And following the culmination of an epic 2019 Six Nations Championships, our panel of experts (all two of them) has finalised a best XV from the tournament. 

Agree with it? Probably not. So feel free to say so. And for the sake of simplicity, we've listed them from 1 to 15.

1 - Rob Evans (Wales).

Yes, we're bias. But we won't be the only ones to pick Rob Evans.

Rock solid in all five games, and again combined hard carrying with the sort of link up play which would have had the 'viet gwent' muttering with disgust. A modern day prop at the top level.

Cian Healy came very close, but Cian Healy isn't from Pembrokeshire and didn't mess about in post-tournament photos with Prince William. So it's Evans.

2 - Jamie George (England).

If it wasn't for the fact the Welsh lineout wobbled at times in games 1-4, Evans would have been joined in the front row by his mate Ken Owens.

But instead, George gets the nod. His carries were formidable and his handling top class. Dylan Hartley has a fight on his hands.

3 - Kyle Sinckler (England).

Losing his cool in Cardiff tainted Sinckler's tournament, but otherwise he was outstanding.

He doesn't just break gain lines, he powers through them. 

4 - Alun Wyn Jones (Wales).

No justification needed.

5 - James Ryan (Ireland).

One of the real bright spots of an otherwise ordinary Irish campaign. Work rate immense.

6 - Josh Navidi (Wales).

His contribution wasn't as lauded as that of other Welsh players - but it was every bit as telling. Carried with dynanism and the second highest tackle count in the tournament. Beast.

7 - Tom Curry (England).

As mentioned, Naividi had the second highest tackle count in the tournament. Behind this man.

It isn't enough to be 'everywhere' at 7 these days. In international rugby that's par for the course. But Curry is everywhere with an X factor to boot, as tries against Wales and Scotland showed.

8 - Billy Vunipola (England).

Given his recent injury problems, a remarkable return to form. His ball carrying caused carnage.

9 - Antoine Dupont (France).

It says much for the form of Dupont in the last three games that he gets in having not started the first two.

Probed brilliantly and he'll keep a few back rows honest in the next few years. Ended the tournament firmly above Morgan Parra in the battle for the French No 9 shirt.

10 - Finn Russell (Scotland).

The kind of player you don't bother preaching structure to. Against Ireland and England in particular, he displayed his danger and is a player who thrills. 

11 - Jonny May (England).

One word, finisher.

Six tournament tries, including a hat trick against France, showcased his speed and played with real confidence.

12 - Hadleigh Parkes (Wales).

While Russell is a maverick at 10, Parkes is the opposite at 12. Ultra reliable all Championship and a crucial early try in the decider against Ireland. That wasn't even his standout moment on Saturday though - his cover tackle to deny Jacob Stockdale was superb.

13 - Henry Slade (England).

Parkes could easily have been partnered here by Jonathan Davies.

Continuing the theme of Welsh/English domination, we go for Slade though. Devastating in Dublin and classy thereafter. His flick out the tackle for May's try against Scotland showcased his skill.

14 - Josh Adams (Wales).

For Wales, the find of the tournament.

His composure under pressure to pluck Dan Biggar's crossfield kick out the air and score against England sent a nation into raptures. His side step to score against Scotland was every bit as impressive and even in the rain, he dazzled against Ireland.

A big future awaits.

15 - Liam Williams (Wales).

As magnificent as Leigh Halfpenny has been for Wales, Williams gives you something extra at 15.

Threatening with ball in hand and when it came to the high ball, against England in particular, he was almost infallible.

If fit, has to be the starting 15 for Wales in the World Cup.
