On super Saturday, France completed the Grand Slam by beating England to conclude what has been a thrilling 2022 Six Nations.

However, we’ve almost certainly found a couple of things you missed from the fantastic action…

#1. Josh Adams sportsmanship

Wales winger Josh Adams was awarded the man of the match prior to Ange Capuozzo setting up Italy’s last-minute winning try.

After the game, Adams went over and insisted that the 22-year-old emotional Italian took the medal in a clip that has since gone viral on social media.

The Italian tweeted his tanks today, saying: "Thanks for your kind attention Josh. A great player and a great man"

#2. Nigel gets pranked

Popular former referee Nigel Owens was caught out "hook, line and sinker" after Jonathan 'Jiffy' Davies' prank call caught him out live on radio.

#3. Italy’s game-winning try

It’s a moment Italy fans have no doubt watched on replay hundreds of times already and who can blame them for that, eh?

And just to make the winning try even better, fans on Twitter have set the memorable score in Cardiff to Nessun Dorma, as is customary these days.

Take a look at the footage here…

Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.
