Will Greenwood's Favourite 5: 50 up for Hogg, three down for Thompson and Stander

There was plenty of action this weekend as the second round of the Six Nations delivered some brilliant performances.

Ireland showed no mercy as CJ Stander and replacement Craig Gilroy both scored hat-tricks for a convincing 63-10 win against Italy in Rome.

Wales played one of their best games for a while and were on top for 76 minutes. However, they gave England a sniff of a chance at the end and Eddie Jones' men took it with both hands for their 21-16 win.

Scotland may not have got the win in Paris against France but Stuart Hogg once again showed why he is the front-runner for the Lions No 15 jersey. In his 50th Test he scored a beauty and was superb in defence and attack.

Other players would have certainly caught Lions coach Warren Gatland's eye. Stander's hat-trick saw him join an exclusive club while Joe Launchbury was also colossal against Wales and showed that never-say-die attitude which helped England to their win.

Also featuring this week is England Women's demolition of Wales where Lydia Thompson scored a hat-trick to help England secure a 63-0 whitewash.
