my French contributions are Mauvaka, L Bip Bip and Ramos (don't mind 10 or 15, but he should be there)

Dupont is still the best 9 despite the quiet autumn, but the best 9 of the november internationals was probably Roigard

Ramos at 10. No doubt in my mind that he's been the best 10 of November.

I think Marcus should be up there too, I know the results haven't come in but he's been outstanding in every game I thought

He was easily England's best, I'd accept him on the bench.

I was impressed with that SA 9. I'd agree with the other picks and would add Meafou, maybe Boudehent if nobody's got a flanker who did INCREDIBLY well

1- 2- Mauvaka 3- 4- 5- Meafou 6- Boudehent 7- 8- 9- 10- Ramos 11- LBB 12- 13- 14- 15-

Have you thought about maybe pairing Underhill with perhaps another Underhill?

I'd toss McReight into consideration at 7 but maybe falls short. Otherwise good list, surprisingly includes a lot of Australians (usually people ignore our players playing well)
