The Six Nations returned after a two week hiatus for an exciting third round of matches this weekend with three pivotal games in the race for the Championship.
France sealed their status as grand-slam contenders with a 17-36 win over Scotland at Murrayfield with all their star names in scintillating form in what was a statement victory for Les Bleus.
Meanwhile, England saw off a late Welsh challenge to beat their arch-rivals 23-19 at Twickenham in a game that should have been put out of the reach of Wales long before the dramatic closing stages saw the visitors nearly snatch victory.
