Six Nations: What happened in Round 3?

Another week passes and with it so does another exhilarating round of Six Nations rugby.

On Saturday, current leaders France headed to Scotland looking to continue their unbeaten run, while England hosted Wales in a game that always delivers entertainment.

Sunday saw Ireland host bottom-placed side Italy in an attempt to bounce back from a disappointing, but closely fought, result in France.

Starting with the first game of the weekend at Murrayfield where Grand Slam hopefuls France looked to continue their impressive run so far against a Scotland side who have looked promising, but it’s felt like they definitely have more to offer.

After a slightly shaky start by France, kicking the ball straight out from kick-off and missing a rather kickable penalty, they soon showed us why they are favourites, and the only remaining unbeaten team with some unbelievable rugby.

The first display of this was from scrum-half Antoine Dupont, who caught the ball from a Scotland clearance kick, and ghosted through most of the Scotland defence, gaining at least 50 metres, before a few forward phases eventually led to Paul Willemse crashing over.

France continued to play excellent rugby and they were over the line again not long after; after some excellent offloads, Yoram Moefana coasted over and put France in a comfortable position.

Scotland managed to get back into the game with a try from flanker Rory Darge, and they actually had the opportunity to head into half-time leading. A line break from winger Duhan van der Merwe gave them a 4-on-1 overlap. Van der Merwe passed it to Chris Harris, who went for a glory pass, skipping out a couple Scotland forwards to try and find Stuart Hogg, but it was a poor pass and Hogg fumbled it.
