Inspired by Stuart Hogg's delicious show-and-go in Paris last week (click along to 1.32 on this video for the most glorious slow-mo angle on it), I'm also interested in your pick as the player with the most flair in this season Six Nations.

Forget "accuracy" and "playing the percentages", who is the man who gets you out of your seat and purring with a single piece of genius?

Jonathan Joseph? Teddy Thomas? Perhaps some Wales fans might like to nominate James Hook - currently well out of the scene and consigned to club duty with Gloucester.

Veteran prop Rochelle Clark told the BBC earlier this week that it is inevitable that world champions England won't be as strong in this season's Six Nations.

"We had eight new caps against Wales and six retirements from the World Cup so it's going to be a really tough Six Nations but we want to build on every game and get a performance in," she said.

"There are some glimpses of hope and it will all come together. All the girls are positive and it's a new era of players and staff.

"We're raring to go against Italy. There are a few wrongs we have got to put right."

BBC Sport's Sara Orchard is at The Stoop for England v Italy in the Women's Six Nations, which kicks off at 14:00 GMT. England will be looking to bounce back from their 13-0 defeat by Wales last week, and we'll bring you updates and news as today's game unfolds.

"Stunning sunshine in south-west London, not that it brought much luck for England last week as it beat down in Swansea. Italy are out warming out but perhaps the most pleasing sight for England fans is the return of England World Cup captain Katy McLean, out practising her place-kicking. Welcome back Katy - no pressure today, no pressure."

What Wales don't need is to run into a Scotland team, brimful of zip and zest under the guidance of new coach Vern Cotter.

The Scots may also have lost their Six Nations opener - going down 15-8 in Paris - but in term of entertainment, they offered as much bang for your buck as any other team.

They had 46% of the possession at the Stade de France, but scored the game's only try - a beauty of a team effort capped off by Dougie Fife - and generally out-Frenched the French.

Exciting times. Just perhaps not for Warren, Sam and the rest of the Welsh travelling party.

"Rugby has moved on from 'Warrenball' and Wales will have to make fundamental changes", external

"Wales were a shambles against England - and they might not recover", external

The critical notices on this Wales team are turning into epitaphs.

Has Warren Gatland's bash-and-bosh gameplan run its course? Are the golden days of a golden generation now behind them?

After a humbling defeat by England in their Six Nations opener, Wales don't only need a result to prop up the points column. They need a performance to restore faith in a philosophy.

A minute later, France scrum-half Morgan Parra pops the ball to Vincent Clerc, Wales captain Sam Warburton charges into the tackle and in his eagerness upends the diminutive wing in spectacular, and illegal, fashion.

Without their dismissed captain, and with more than three-quarters of the semi-final to play, Wales still came within a couple of points of making their first World Cup final.

Three and a half years on and Gatland's hopes of his side taking the next step in 2015 seem to be growing skinny.

Will we look back on that early-morning moment, half a hemisphere away, as the high point of Warren Gatland's Wales reign?
