Ireland began its Six Nations three-peat bid by blowing away England during 30-plus minutes of controlled aggression in the second half for a 27-22 comeback victory in Dublin.

Superstar scrumhalf Antoine Dupont has set up three tries and France has overwhelmed Wales 43-0 in an impressive Six Nations opener in Paris.

Wales have won five of their last 12 visits to Paris, more than any other team in the Six Nations. The last time France and Wales met in the opening round was 2019. Wales won 24-19 and went on to complete the Grand Slam. Since that match France have won 21 of 23 Test matches at the Stade de France.
