The third round of the Six Nations saw England’s Grand Slam hopes go up in smoke, Ireland take a huge step towards the title and France record a much needed win.

A gripping 25-13 win over England on Saturday saw Scotland lift the Calcutta Cup for the first time in a decade but more importantly kept them alive in this year's tournament.

But Ireland remain the team to beat: Joe Schmidt’s men dismissed Wales 37-27 in Dublin on Saturday for their third straight win in this year's NatWest 6 Nations.

Elsewhere, France secured their first victory of the campaign, beating Italy 34-17 in Marseille.

Scotland have won nine of their last 10 at Murrayfield
