Six Nations first round review: How did the teams perform?

The 2018 Six Nations has been eagerly anticipated by many people for a couple of months, with England looking to create history by aiming to become the first ever team to win the title in three consecutive years.

Wales faced Scotland in the opening fixture of the tournament and it was one to remember for the Wales fans.

They made a dream start to their campaign by crushing Scotland 34-7, with many Wales fans now having confidence that their side can be the ones to dethrone England this year.

It was an electric start to a great weekend of Rugby. Ireland faced France later in the day and arguably had the best moment of the opening round as they stole the victory from their opponents in the final seconds of the match with a drop-goal.

England commenced their campaign on Sunday, taking on Italy who were heavily against the odds in this matchup. The Italians have never beaten England and didn’t look like they would in this match-up as England comfortably defeated them 46-15.

Below, we rate each team’s performance out of 10.
