What a weekend of rugby.

England are now the only side left with Grand Slam hopes alive after both Wales and Scotland saw their unbeaten starts come to an end on a thrilling weekend of action.

Ireland got the ball rolling with a demolition in Rome as they trounced Italy 63-10, with both CJ Stander and replacement Craig Gilroy scoring hat-tricks in a nine-try victory that also saw the first try-scoring bonus point dished out of the championship.

The tie of the round took place in Cardiff as England and Wales gave us one of the best Test matches we’ve ever seen, while France and Scotland wasn’t far behind with some frantic end-to-end action on Sunday.
