England finish 2016 unbeaten after a superb victory over Australia, while Ireland, Wales and Scotlands players returned to Pro 12 action with all four Irish Provinces picking up wins.?But who gets the nod for selection in the British & Irish team based on this weekends form?BACKS15 Tom HomerThe Bath full back steered his side to a 14-11 win over Saracens with nine points from the tee coupled with a solid defensive display.14 David StrettleThe winger might have drifted off the international radar since his move to Clermont, but he continues to prove what an exceptional finisher he is. The former Saracens man scored a hat-trick against Pau in the Top 14 at the weekend.?13 ?Jonathan Joseph?His best performance of the autumn, Joseph was instrumental to Englands fightback. His try in the first half was the turning point while the second finished the game off for Eddie Jones men. Arguably his best contribution was a perfectly weighted kick for Englands second score.?12 Owen FarrellIt wasnt a vintage Farrell display but the fly-half-come-centre was perfect from the tee, slotting six from six. He combined well with Ford to bring the England back-line into the game.?11 Semesa RokoduguniAnother display that has many asking what he has to do to get back into the England side. The Bath winger was at his elusive best against Saracens, clocking up 109 metres with ball in hand.?10 George FordHis midfield combination with Farrell has to be an option Lions coach Warren Gatland is seriously considering. The fly-halfs tactical kicking was superb while he continues to pull the strings and unlock defences.9 Ben YoungsMan of the match against the Wallabies, Youngs put in one of his best performances in an England jersey. His box kicking was near perfect and allowed England to build their way back into the game, while his speed of thought saw him score a superb solo effort.FORWARDS1 Dave KilcoyneThe Munster loose-head put in another fine display against Glasgow, rock solid at the set piece to go with an excellent work rate.2 Jamie George?The replacement hooker continues to put pressure on Hartley for the starting jersey. His set piece was immaculate against Australia, while his work in the loose is up there with backrow forwards.?3 Dan Cole?The subject of much attention in the lead up to the game, the England tight head responded with a solid display. He made 13 tackles to go with an excellent scrummaging performance, he did his Lions hopes no harm.?4 Courtney Lawes?11 carries and 13 tackles were the headline stats in an outstanding performance from the England lock. His work at the lineout will be the most pleasing for forwards coach Steve Borthwick though, with the Northampton lock Englands go-to man and even stole one off the Wallabies.?5 George Kruis?He topped the tackle charts with 16 against Australia and Kruis was at the heart of everything for England.?6 Taulupe Faletau?Despite featuring for just 37 minutes against Saracens, the Bath No.8 proved his world class status with an astonishing 19 carries for 71 metres.7 Dan LeavyIreland are blessed with back row options at the minute and the Leinster man is right up there. The openside was equally as disruptive at the breakdown as he was in defence, while his offloading game helped Leinster to a 28-16 win over the Dragons.?8 Nathan HughesReplacing Billy Vunipola is a tough ask for any player but the Wasps No.8 made a good go of it. While not as destructive as the man whose boots he filled, Hughes work rate was right up there with 19 carries and his pace was key to Englands second try.

SAN DIEGO -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso couldnt have played his first career pick-6 any better.It was the highlight play of his career so far, and left the San Diego Chargers stunned, again.Alonso deked Philip Rivers into thinking he was going to cover a slot receiver, then broke off, jumped in front of Tyrell Williams for the interception and outraced everyone 60 yards to the end zone with 1:01 left to give the Dolphins a wild 31-24 victory Sunday.Maybe he was expecting me to go up the seam, Alonso said.He didnt. Once he had the ball, all Alonso needed to do was outrun Williams for the score.I mean, thats my first touchdown on defense ever, like high school, college, he said. I felt good.The Dolphins (5-4) intercepted Rivers four times in a 13-minute span in the fourth quarter and won their fourth straight game.With the score tied and the Chargers (4-6) on the Miami 42, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said he was thinking through some timeout scenarios and looked up and saw his hands on the ball. Hes a very instinctive player and I know a couple of times he gambles and loses but a lot of times he gambles and hes right.Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill said he saw Alonso buzz out right before the snap and as soon as Phil started looking that way, I was happy he didnt see him.Rivers tied his career high with the four picks.Obviously it cant happen down in there, said Rivers, who helped the Chargers to a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter. There were two of them when we were fixing to score, and then obviously the last one there with a chance to win the game with a field goal. The guy made a great play.Two plays into the ensuing drive, Rivers was intercepted again, by Tony Lippett, his second of the game.Too many missed opportunities with the chance to take the lead a few times. I didnt get it done, Rivers said.Rivers threw three touchdown passes to move past John Elway for eighth place on the career list with 301.Rivers 51-yard touchdown pass to Williams with 4:04 left gave the Chargers a 24-21 lead.Miami came right back to get a 27-yard field goal from Andrew Franks to tie it. That was set up by Tannehills 56-yard pass to DeVante Parker and a roughing-the-passer call that put the ball on the San Diego 10.Damien Williams scored on a 2-yard run and on an 18-yard pass from Tannehill for the Dolphins.Jay Ajayi ran for 79 yards,, ending his streak of three straight 100-yard games, but he had big runs to set up two touchdowns by Williams.ddddddddddddOMENTUM SWINGThe Chargers blew a great opportunity to jump back into the lead after Jakeem Grant muffed a punt and Darrell Stuckey recovered it at the Miami 5. The Chargers had five chances from the 5 or closer -- thanks a holding call against Byron Maxwell -- and ended up with Rivers being intercepted by Lippett in the end zone after forcing a pass into double coverage.After Miami went three-and-out, Rivers gave it right back when he was intercepted by Byron Maxwell with 6:49 to go. The Dolphins failed to capitalize.Losing this way was like a shot under the chin, Stuckey said. Its a tough one. Weve got to find a way to take advantage of opportunities we get. Its the same old, same old story every time, for us, not taking advantage of opportunities.RECORD BOOKRivers threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates for a 10-0 lead. It was the 82nd time those two connected, extending their NFL record for a quarterback-tight end duo.Gates needs two TD catches to tie Tony Gonzalezs NFL record for touchdown grabs by a tight end (111).WEST COAST WEEKKenny Stills, who went to La Costa Canyon High in northern San Diego County, caught a 39-yard touchdown pass from Tannehill in the second quarter. Since the Dolphins are playing at the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday, theyre staying in Carlsbad this week. That gave Stills a chance to show some teammates his high school and to make a special visit. I got to see my dog for the first time in like a year and a half, said Stills, who stayed in Miami last offseason to work out.TOUGH WEEKIt was the second big loss for the Chargers in less than a week . On Tuesday, voters soundly rejected the teams request to raise hotel occupancy taxes to raise $1.15 billion for a $1.8 billion stadium and convention center annex downtown. Its unclear whether the Chargers will try another plan in San Diego or move to Los Angeles.INJURIESChargers CB Brandon Flowers left late in the third quarter and was being evaluated for a concussion. ... Dolphins DE Mario Williams left with an ankle injury.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
