- New Zealand – they’re back in black. They nilled the Wallabies in Eden Park a week after they lost in Perth.
- Wales – held England to just 2 penalty kicks even though England welcomed Maro Itoje back to the starting line up and had Owen Farrell on the bench.
- South Africa – another win for the Springboks, albeit controversially with some interesting refereeing decisions from Luke Pearce.
- Argentina – made 10 changes to the starting XV and could have beaten a changed Springboks team in Pretoria.
- England – well they did score 6 points.
- France – pummelled Scotland 32-3 as Fabien Galthie’s influence appears. But Scotland always struggle in France.
- Australia – missed Rory Arnold and still have a huge problem filling the 6 jersey
- Italy – scored 13 tries in an 85-15 thumping of Russia including 3 from Minozzi who was restored to the wing.
- Russia – they scored 15 points away in Italy even if it was against a changed Italian side
- Scotland – just 3 points against a relatively new French team, even for a team who struggle outside Murrayfield that’s quite worrying.
Ireland, Japan, Samoa, Namibia, Canada, USA, Tonga, Georgia, Fiji and Uruguay all avoided games this week.
