The 2020 edition of the Six Nations kicked off this weekend with an intriguing round of opening fixtures.
The action began in Cardiff, where last year's Grand Slam winners Wales began the Wayne Pivac era with a 42-0 demolition of an Italy side who remain without a win in the tournament since 2015.
We then moved onto Dublin's Aviva Stadium as Ireland - with Andy Farrell installed as the coaching successor to Joe Schmidt - outlasted a spirited Scotland team missing key playmaker Finn Russell 19-12.
Round one concludes on Sunday with 'Le Crunch', which sees a youthful France go up against an England outfit hoping to ensure there is no lingering hangover from their World Cup final defeat to South Africa in November.
