Irish hearts broken, Scotland outfought, Italy outclassed and England, France and Wales march on.
Week two of the Six Nations provided plenty of talking points, but who stood out above the rest?
With thanks to
Panadol, here are 5 players who impressed during the Six Nations' second round of fixtures.
Rabah Slimani & Eddy Ben Arous - France
After the Italy match, this pair were dropped and accused of a lack of passion. Nobody will be accusing them of that this week.
The pair were introduced shortly after half-time and completely changed the game.

Jamie Roberts - Wales
Our player of the tournament thus far, Roberts once again showed why he is so valuable to the Welsh cause.
When he is in this sort of form, there is nobody better.

Tommy Seymour - Scotland
Wales' kicking game was stifled by a superb Seymour. His try demonstrated his wonderful handling ability and he simply didn't deserve to be on the losing side.

Jonathan Joseph - England
Pace, power and precision; Joseph has the lot. He was England's best player on a day when every English player did well. It will be interesting to see how the Irish defense copes with this try scoring machine.

So there you have it folks, five players who lit up the second week of the 2016 Six Nations. We are hoping there are a few more Irish faces in next week's list.

Panadol Extra is 30% more powerful when compared to standard paracetamol
Panadol Extra tablets are used for the relief of headache, migraine, backache, rheumatic pain, muscle pain, neuralgia, toothache and period pain. They also relieve discomfort in colds, flu and sore throats and help reduce temperature.
The tablets contain two active ingredients. Paracetamol is a pain reliever and reduces your temperature when you have a fever. Caffeine acts to further amplify the analgesic effect of paracetamol.
Always read the label.
