Six Nations team of the week: Irish in form again

rte.ie

Round two of the Guinness Six Nations produced three homes victories as Ireland and Scotland made it two from two, while England got the better of Italy.

Here's our pick of the week. 15. Hugo Keenan (Ireland) The Leinster man keeps his place in the team of the week after another excellent outing in Ireland's win over France.

His running line and finish for the opening try was perfect and was his usual dependable self in the backfield without reaching the heights set in Cardiff.

Executed a brilliant 50:22 that boosted the team towards the end. 14. Damian Penaud (France) The livewire wing caused Ireland problems all afternoon and created a try from nothing, evading a host of defenders starting from his own 22.
