The weekend started off in Dublin. Grand Slam-chasing Ireland made it three bonus-point Six Nations wins from three against Wales at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, racking up their 18th successive home win in the process with a 31-7 victory. 

Next up, Duhan van der Merwe scored a superb hat-trick as Scotland beat England 30-21 at Murrayfield on Saturday to claim a fourth successive championship win in the fixture for the first time since 1896.

Then on Sunday, Italy came back to draw 13-13 with France in Lille, but were left to think what might have been after Paulo Garbisi's last minute penalty hit the post.
