Following the opening round of the 2025 Six Nations, Sky Sports has unveiled its player rankings, with Scotland's Huw Jones and Rory Darge emerging as frontrunners for British and Irish Lions selection.
Scotland center Huw Jones ascended to the top of the rankings after his three tries extinguished Italy's second-half resurgence at Murrayfield. His captain and teammate Rory Darge secured the second spot in the rankings. The flanker was ranked second for the most attacking and defensive ruck hits (45), only trailing England captain Maro Itoje (46), in addition to scoring his team's first try in a standout performance.
\Of the 12 successful jackal turnovers in round one of the 2025 Six Nations, a quarter were achieved by Tom Curry. On the day he and his brother Ben made history as the first twins to start a Test for England, the try-scoring flanker emerged as Steve Borthwick's best performer during a challenging afternoon in Dublin. \Tadhg Beirne tormented England, leading a formidable contingent of Irish performances as the back-to-back Six Nations champions commenced their quest for a third consecutive title with a 27-22 victory. Dan Sheehan delivered the most explosive performance from a British and Irish Lion hopeful. The Leinster hooker played a mere 30 minutes but left an undeniable mark with a try, two line breaks, and seven ruck hits, as his powerful display decisively shifted momentum in Ireland's favor. Harlequins wing Cadan Murley's England debut presented its hurdles, but he showcased glimpses of his talent with a try, a try assist, and three line breaks - the joint-most in Six Nations round one - in Dublin
