A spectacular weekend of Six Nations rugby saw record beaten or set in all three games.
1. England kept running
Elliot Daly, Jack Nowell, Jonny May and Henry Slade all made over 100 metres yesterday. It was the first time 4 players from the same side have gained 100+ metres in a game between Tier 1 nations since Opta have recorded this data.
2. Highest scoring draw
There were 76 points scored in the Guinness Six Nations match between England and Scotland, making it the highest scoring draw in Test history. Chaotic.
3. Record-breaking Grand Slam
Wales have won their 12th Grand Slam in tournament history and their fourth in the Six Nations, more than any other side; three of those have come during Warren Gatland’s tenure. Masterclass.
4. Super Woman
Record-breaking Jess Breach scored two more tries in the women’s Six Nations on Saturday as England completed the Grand Slam by crushing Scotland 80-0 at Twickenham Stadium.
The 21-year-old winger has scored nine tries in the tournament – and has touched down an extraordinary 20 times in her seven test appearances.
5. Winning run continues
Following their victory against Ireland, Wales extended their winning run to 14 games, which is there best run in their history.
