The Six Nations weekend ended unsatisfactorily as Ireland walloped Italy in a game that would have left casual observers wondering what the heck was going on, but there were still highlights to savour from the three matches.
France provided most of those as they stylishly defeated Scotland 36-17 at Murrayfield, clinically taking their chances and playing with flair and confidence.
Wales rallied in the second half against England, scoring three tries, while the Irish continue to look powerful, even though it was hard to difficult to assess their performance in Dublin as the Azzurri were reduced to 13 men for an hour amid the bizarre law that saw the visitors lose two players after having one man sent off.
