00:00 The opening weekend of the 2024 Six Nations had everything.
00:06 Ireland successfully began their bid for back-to-back Grand Slams,
00:09 a feat never achieved before at the Six Nations.
00:12 Their remarkable away win at France showed why this should be talked about
00:16 as a realistic possibility this year.
00:18 Andy Farrell's side were near perfect in Marseille
00:21 as they banished any potential World Cup hangover
00:24 following their quarterfinal defeat to New Zealand.
00:27 England showed that a change in system could be taking place.
00:31 They played with the high line speed that the Blitz defence requires,
00:35 but Italy exploited the lack of experience with the system to score three times.
00:40 It remains difficult to comprehend what we witnessed in Cardiff on Saturday evening.
00:45 Rarely has the old cliche of a game of two halves been more applicable,
00:49 with Scotland building a 27-point advantage that was almost hauled back by Wales
00:55 only for the away side to cling on and win by a point.
