Three teams went into the second round of the 2022 Six Nations with a chance of winning a Grand Slam, but only France emerged with their hopes of a 100 per cent record intact.
Les Bleus bulldozed their way to a hard-fought 30-24 win over Ireland in a game of two halves, where Andy Farrell's men recovered from an early battering to at least make the match competitive in the end.
Wales battled to another narrow win over Scotland, who succumbed 20-17 in Cardiff and will have to wait at least another year before they get the next chance to win two opening Six Nations fixtures for the first time.
