So the dust has settled on this year’s Six Nations tournament, and Wales saved their best for last, crushing England to retain their title as champions. On to the Lions!

After a two week break the Six Nations returned on the weekend, but one would hardly notice given the lack of expansive rugby on offer. Maybe next week, we hope.

It was a good week for predictions, but not a great one for excitement, at least in the northern hemisphere. A dramatic match on Sunday saved an otherwise ordinary weekend.

Well what a difference a week makes! Dull weather and even duller tactics meant that for the first time in an age it was Scotland who played the best rugby.

A brief review of the most exciting opening weekend in the history of the Six Nations. All three matches featured enthralling end to end action and moments of individual brilliance.
