Round one began with woeful Wales being brushed aside in Paris on Friday night, with the returning Antoine Dupont starring as pre-tournament favourites Les Bleus ran in seven tries in an emphatic victory to nil to produce an early title statement. Then it was over to Murrayfield on Saturday, where Huw Jones’ stylish hat-trick helped Scotland hold off an impressive Italy fightback to get their campaign off to a winning start. Ireland had to come from behind to begin their latest title defence with victory over England, who rallied at the death to at least take home a losing bonus point. Round two looks set to be a blockbuster, with Wales desperately trying to end a record 13-game losing Test run in Rome and England hosting France at Twickenham before Ireland go to Murrayfield.
