Six Nations 2022: France's Wigan defence, New England and under-rated Wales

«Anyone is able to beat anyone».

That is former England wing Ugo Monye's main takeaway from round two of the 2022 Six Nations, but no one has managed it against France yet.

Ireland came close but ultimately lost at the Stade de France, while England are up and running with victory in Rome and Wales bounced back to beat Scotland.

Here are some of the key talking points from the second round provided by the experts on BBC Radio 5 Live's Rugby Union Daily.

England head coach Eddie Jones has been talking about 'new England' since younger players like fly-half Marcus Smith and full-back Freddie Steward were included in the autumn Tests.

After an opening defeat by Scotland, the attacking project seemed to come together in a fast-paced win against Italy.

Scrum-half Harry Randall delivered quick ball and forwards and backs alike created a plethora of options for playmaker Smith to choose from.

«The England team that I played with was very much out-power and out-muscle [the opposition],» former England captain Dylan Hartley said.

«England have quite blatantly moved to an attacking game, trying to manipulate defences with options in the front and out the back.

»[Prop] Ellis Genge was running like an inside centre. People were taking the ball flat to the line and then there were options out the back. I saw a really good balance in their attack."
