It was another great weekend of Six Nations action with three interesting games for fans to enjoy and while there was lots up for grabs in the Championship it was also a crucial weekend in Fantasy Rugby.
Most points were up for grabs in Ireland's heavy 57-6 win over Italy, with the visitors reduced to 12 men for the closing stages, in what have been described at 'farcical scenes'.
Elsewhere, England held off a late Welsh surge to beat their arch rivals 23-19, having led 12-0 at half-time while France were in ominously good form as they continued their grand-slam efforts with a 17-36 win over Scotland at Murrayfield.
In fantasy, one player stood up above all others and 'Sam B' ruled the roost with a sensational score of 1073.9 to top the round three standings.
Wisely, they had captained Ireland's James Lowe, who scored a brace on his return to the Dublin wing, having missed the first two games through injury, and scored 89.4 points which was doubled to 178.8 points.
Other high scorers from the side were Damian Penaud (82.5), Alex Dombrandt (77.6), Antione Dupont, Marcus Smith (73.8) and Josh van der Flier (72.8).
On the bench meanwhile, the decision to choose England hooker Jamie George as supersub proved a shrewd decision as the Saracens man collected 24.7 points which was trebled to 74.1 points after his appearance off the bench for England.
Despite this brilliant round for 'Sam B' it is 'Creepy McKenzie who holds top spot, with 2783.3 points, with a strong lead over 'Alex Harley' in second place on 2729.3 points.
