England moved closer to a fifth consecutive Six Nations title after beating Wales 59-3 in Cardiff, highlighting the yawning gulf between the two countries.
France kept up «Red Roses», overtaking Scotland. 55-0 at Vanna while Italy took their first league points by beating Ireland 24-7.
Three players — the incomparable French Gabrielle Vernier, England electric striker Abby Doe and Welsh defensive midfielder Gwenllian Pierce — in our team for the third week in a row. , and who else impressed?
15. Emily Boulard (France)
Her attempted hat-trick inspired France to win decisively. He looked menacing all day and appeared in all the right places in the danger zone. Playing in conjunction with striker Caroline Bujar was also impressive.
14. Abby Doe (England)
She played brilliantly alone, outrunning defenders on her way to victory to banish the memory of the broken leg she suffered last year against Wales. Repeatedly exposed Wales in wider channels and carved a delicious line to feed Ellie Kildunn.

A real threat in midfield for Italy, which has led to massive changes in defense. Won three important transfers and played a key role in supporting Italy.
12. Gabriel Vernier (France)
This is cruel to Tatiana Hurd, but is there a better domestic center in Europe now than Vernier? Made an outrageous one-handed unload during Bular's second lead before finishing under the sticks herself. The most important player in France at the moment.
11. Alyssa D'Inca (Italy)
The most dangerous striker of the Italian national team did not stop the whole match and overtook the Frenchwoman Melissande Llorens on the flank. Took two tries and got Beatrice Rigoni's beautiful chip to succeed in the Six Nations.

9. Pauline Bourdon (France)
Another performance with champagne from the midfielder. They led the attack of the French wave after wave and opened the score with an attempt. She has emerged from the shadow of Laura Sansus and is thriving.
1. Gwenllian Pierce (Wales)
Tough day at the Wales office' package, but Pyrs was their standout performer. Made more carries than any other player on the field and rallied well during the early match encounter with Bern, from whom she will learn. Has the potential to become world class.

Excellent performance by an Italian prostitute. Italy is second only to Giada Franco in tackling and has been instrumental in slowing down the Irish ball.
3. Sarah Byrne (England)
Who can stop her? Insolent in the body of a winger. She put in another great individual performance as she moved to wider channels and covered more grass for the second match in a row than some of her backmates. Did a wild run to get Jess Breach ready for her attempt.
4. Zoe Oldcroft (England)
It was a close challenge between Oldcroft and Italy's Sara Tunesi, who made more tackles (21) than the three Irish strikers combined. But Oldcroft's lofty presence in the corridor was key to calming early English nerves, and she was, as usual, industrious in the park.
5. Giordana Duca (Italy)
Destructive power in the lineout, played an important role in sharp passages when playing forward and broke well when out of action. Her castle partnership with Tounesi has really come into its own and is a reminder of the potential of the Italian pack.
6. Sadia Kabeya (England)
Failed to get on the scoresheet but once again demonstrated her ball control and athleticism in Cardiff. Slashed the Welsh players all day for fun in a full 80 minute performance.
7. Gael Ermette (France)
Running great support lanes all day and jumped out on Llorens' shoulder to tie France's fifth. Not quite on the level of Marley Packer, but still a very influential player in France.
8. Charlotte Escudero (France)
Imperious performance of the eighth racket of France. Ran 77m with seven carries and completed a well-practiced team run. Her powerful attack on Louise Macmillan summed up France's superiority over Scotland.
