As the Six Nations moves into another two week break, SWL’s Nick Powell, Ben Hart, Stefan Frost, Jess Tiplady and George Wilson round up the week three fixtures and look at the state of play so far, as well as throwing ahead to the tournament’s final two rounds.
In the third weekend of the tournament, France solidified their position as Grand Slam favourites, with a thumping 36-17 win away at Scotland, Ireland took advantage of an early red card and obscure rule to pummel 13-man Italy 57-6, and England held off Wales 23-19 at Twickenham to keep their own tournament hopes alive.
