The final week in the tournament saw some outstanding individual efforts, particularly from the Italians and, of course, the Welsh. Also, for the first time there are no English players!
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!
The tournament that never was? One that had promised so much only six weeks ago has been mired in damp weather and despairingly bland tactics. Will the final weekend deliver?

Retirements, half-retirements, forced retirements, career milestones… it’s been a busy week in the rugby world. Squad changes aplenty, injury in and outs, leading point scorers, here’s what you should know!
Why did Ireland lose to Scotland? Did Scotland deserve to win? What interesting numbers did the Super Rugby weekend throw up? Answers, video, and ramblings of front row forwards ahead.
