Below, we look at every sides best and worst player.

Planet Rugby: "A fine performance from the Toulon man as he delivered a slick service to his outside backs while also bringing his forwards into play with deft offloads around the fringes of the rucks and mauls."

Rugby Pass: "Another strong outing from the Toulon scrum-half, who ran a superb support line to finish off a brilliant move for his fourth Test try, and carried out his duties from the base with an increasing air of authority to take some of the load off Russell."

Rugby Dump: "Started well and scored Scotland’s only, his kicking game takes plenty of pressure off Russell and generally marshalls the Scottish pack around the park with authority."

Rugby Dump 4/10: “Pretty anonymous throughout as he rarely got his hands on the ball. He did save a certain French try albeit in controversial circumstances as he appeared to go high but got away with it.”

Planet Rugby 5/10: “Like Rowe. the behemoth flyer did not see much of the ball but when he did, he kept France‘s defence busy. He eventually gained 18 attacking metres from five runs and was pretty anonymous on defence as he only made three tackles but missed two of those.”

Rugby 365 5.5/10: “Came off his left wing to make the extra man in the attack that led to White’s try, but didn’t have the ball in his hands enough from a Scottish point of view. Well shackled by the French defence, and made one excellent cover tackle to collar Fickou after the centre’s coruscating break.”

Planet Rugby: "Back to his best after a poor 80 minutes last week and was rightfully named Player of the Match. He made a stunning break early in the game but was denied by Duhan van der Merwe, but he did get on the scoreboard before the break. Fickou was outstanding on defence and was crucial in the final result."

Planet Rugby 4/10: "He was baffled by his yellow card but really shouldn’t have been, as it was a clear-cut call. He was strong in the scrums and won a turnover. Outside of his card, it was a solid enough performance."

Rugby Pass 4/10: "Showed high game IQ to strip Ben White at the back of a maul with 3 minutes on the clock but it was all downhill from there for the La Rochelle man. Kept collapsing at the scrum and once again was sent to the sin-bin was a clumsy challenge. You can’t help but feel that the 145kg prop is a yellow or red card waiting to happen every time he takes to the pitch."

Telegraph: "Relishing his role of being England’s main man. Brought some serious big-boy energy off the back of a seven-man scrum for his try."

Evening Standard: "Bulldozed in for a fine try in another all-action performance in which he set England’s physical and emotional tone."

Rugby Dump: "Quality carries throughout and cleaned up lose balls like they were grenades. Typical powerful running for his first try and was a standout player in both halves. Proving once again to be one of England’s best players."

Rugby Dump 5/10: "Hauled off in the 50th minute after struggling to impose his mountable size over the young welsh pack."

Planet Rugby 5/10: "The scrum was not really a factor while he was on the field thanks to some smart (possibly underhand) tactics from the Welsh."

RUCK 6/10: "Given a talking to by the ref at 14 minutes, as he and the Wales tight-head jostled at multiple scrum re-sets. Gave away a scrum penalty for not pushing straight at 15, but regathered his composure as the scrum battle progressed."

Wales Online: "Jac Morgan has a fight on his hands if he wants to reclaim the red number seven jersey because Reffell has arguably been Wales' best player over the first two rounds of the championship. The Leicester Tigers openside is one of the best exponents of the breakdown in the Northern Hemisphere as he pinched three turnovers. Has also added a new dimension to his game as he popped up in the wide channels and played a key role in Alex Mann's try. A class act."

Telegraph: "Wales’ most-important player by a mile. Fine work at the breakdown early doors and cute offload in the build up to Mann’s try. Wales need to keep him fit."

Planet Rugby: " Another strong all-round performance from the Leicester Tigers star as he made a menace of himself at the breakdowns and his direct duel with Sam Underhill was one of the highlights of the game. Reffell also did his bit as a ball carrier and led the Welsh onslaught on defence as he finished with a match high 14 tackles made."

Rugby Pass 0/10: "It might seem harsh to put too much emphasis on his 70th minute yellow card – for a deliberate knock-on in his own 22 as English backs formed on his outside – but that was his most significant contribution. The result was England taking the lead for the first time. If that’s not a score of 0 then  one doesn’t exist."

Wales Online 3/10: "His yellow card for a deliberate knock-on meant Wales played the final 10 minutes with 14 men."

Irish Mirror: “Man of the Match. Settled into auxiliary kicking role immediately while excellent early poach caught the eye. First Irish player to clock up 50m with ball in hand, rewarded with fifth try.”

Rugby Pass: "Was a threatening presence behind the scrum and was constantly looking for work. His kicking out of hand was first-rate, his booming boot now the Aviva Stadium’s equivalent of ASMR. Was good value for his try."

Planet Rugby: "He crossed for his first Test try of the year while his rocket of a left boot continued to be a massive weapon for the side. He racked up over 100 metres with ball in hand and hardly put a foot wrong on defence."

Rugby Dump: "Unusually quiet by his high standards as he now looks to be firmly out of the starting line-up when Tadhg Beirne and Joe McCarthy are available. In saying this, his bulk combined with McCarthy’s had the Irish scrum purring with power and he looked back to his normal standards at the line-out."

Rugby 365: "Great leg drive after the tackle makes him a difficult opponent to stop on the gain line and this was another example of why the Azzurri can build an effective back line around the hard-running centre who had good hands and a big heart."

Rugby Dump: "Charged down twice and unbelievably slow at the ruck, Varney was on the back foot as his pack struggled to get any parity."

Rugby Pass: "Charge down kicks undermined his performance and tried to fly out of the defensive line like Faf de Klerk but not his best game and he was not helped by the diminishing returns from his pack. Made an outstanding try-saving tackle on Sheehan."
