This year 's Six Nations featured more tries than any previous championship, with 101 scored across 15 matches.

Intricate pre-plotted plays befuddle defences with a blizzard of runners, while they shift the ball with a cardsharp's speed.

Antoine Dupont's use of the kick-pass to circumvent a defence that has pinched in tight against France 's power gives them another dimension.

Scotland lack depth and heft up front of other nations, but their athleticism, creativity and understanding in open space can slice though any team.

Maro Itoje's diplomacy puts him in the Lions box-seat.

Thomas Ramos' instincts seize the day for Ireland against France .
