The Six Nations continues today after France's thrashing of Wales. A 43-0 defeat has piled the pressure on head coach Warren Gatland, who had led his side to 12 straight Test defeats before meeting France. Wales head to Rome next in a clash that could decide the New Zealander's future.

Ireland has gotten off to a five-point start to its bid for an unprecedented third straight outright Six Nations rugby title by overpowering England in a second-half recovery to rack up a 27-22 victory in Dublin.

Their Twickenham win over Ireland remains the high water mark of England under Borthwick, and their last victory over a side other than Japan. the head coach has also been bold in selection with Ben Curry joining twin brother Tom in the starting back row for the first time at international level.
