Read our privacy policy England’s narrow win over France was the highlight of a gripping weekend of Guinness Six Nations action, but there were also wins for Italy and Ireland. Wales in the doldrums “It can’t carry on like this” said Dan Biggar after Wales were emphatically beaten 22-15 in Rome without ever troubling Italy. The former Wales fly-half’s words reflected the mood of a nation after a 14th consecutive defeat dragged Warren Gatland’s side to a fresh low. This Six Nations looks like another false dawn for Scottish rugby and they head to Twickenham on Saturday week needing to produce a significant improvement on this lacklustre effort.
