France, meanwhile are topping the table and look good to lift the Six Nations title for the first time since 2010.

In their opening match, they came behind to beat Italy 37-10 thanks to a hat-trick from Gabin Villiere.

And then on matchday two they were hugely impressive as they beat a much-fancied Ireland team 30-24.
