22nd Feb 2014 | Six Nations
Mike Brown England’s Standout Performer
No one in the tournament can better his offensive stats. Two tries, four clean breaks and 183 metres carried.
After his first two performances, Mike Brown is arguably the player of the tournament. No one can better his tally of two tries and four clean line breaks, with the Harlequins fullback translating his club form onto the international stage.
Players with two or more line breaks (2014 Six Nations)
So far this 6 Nations, no player has carried the ball further than Mike Brown, with the England player managing 183 meters from 21 carries.
The 28-year-old averages a try every 3.3 games in the Premiership and considering the amount of ball he is getting, I expect his strike rate for England will continue to improve.
He might seem like the obvious choice but Mike Brown is an excellent bet at 12/1 to score the first try in the England versus Ireland game. Back him each-way and get ¼ odds if he is amongst the first three try scorers.
Place the bet with Paddy Power and they will double the odds if he opens the try scoring and then goes on to score a second try.
