A try-scorer in Round 1 of the Championship 23 years ago, Mike Tindall has picked his team of the week for the Six Nations website.

The opening weekend of the 2023 Six Nations is in the books. Ireland presented why they are the number one ranked team in the world, with a dominant 34-10 win over Wales. The Calcutta Cup once again remained in Scottish hands, as England began their Six Nations campaign with a 23-29 home defeat.

Italy were moments away from providing a shocking upset victory over France, as their unexpected efforts provided an entertaining contest in Rome. Finishing 24-29 in favour of France, the Italians looked strong, and won’t be taken lightly for the remainder of the competition.

But who impressed the 2003 World Cup winner? Find out below.
