In the midst of all the weekend's action, you may have missed this.

England's women beat Scotland in the Six Nations on Friday, and for one player in particular it was an incredibly special occasion.

Full-back Fiona Pocock returned from a four-year injury battle and not only played brilliantly but scored a try to boot.

"Running on to the pitch was incredible, very emotional, and a moment I have been thinking about for years," she said.

Full story here.

Yesterday's results leave the Six Nations a title at the centre of a three-way tug o'war that is impossible to call. (Can you have a three-way tug o'war? I'd like to see it if so.)

England are slight bookmakers favourites. With the top three teams all on six points, they lead the way with a points difference of +37. They also have the advantage of playing France in the last game of the last day.

Ireland (+33 playing Scotland away) and Wales (+12 playing Italy away) are waiting in the wings for a slip though...

We have crunched the permutations here.

Wales' defence in the face of 32 successive phases of Ireland pressure was the sort of thing that old men will talk about in awed tones in 50 years time.

In total Warren Gatland's men racked up 250 tackles, beating the previous team record for a Six Nations match - Italy against Ireland last season - by a whopping 42.

BBC Sport's Ben Dirs was there to witness it and glimpsed higher truths amid the carnage.

"Whether you are a writer slumped for hours over a keyboard, a toolmaker stationed for hours at a lathe or a flanker busting his gut for his country, if the result is a triumph, all that perspiration dripping from the brow tastes sweet," he writes.

Never mind your Sunday roast, some of us are still digesting yesterday's rugby feast.

Wales' win over Ireland was the sort of ferocious, marrow-mashing encounter to make you glad you never were good enough to play international rugby.

England's victory over Scotland, filled with butchered overlaps and fluffed five-on-ones, was the sort to make you think, actually, you could probably do a job in either team's backline.

Chiefs sports writer Tom Fordyce has run the rule over England's perplexing display.

"By conservative estimates, England blew six clear try-scoring opportunities at Twickenham." he writes.

"Overlaps were ignored, support runners scorned, passes thrown forward. None of which may ultimately have mattered in securing the Calcutta Cup for another year, but may prove critical in their pursuit of a first championship in four seasons."

Fire up your search engines and set your social media weapons to 'fun'.

In light of Philippe Saint-Andre's struggles and the eternally-entertaining explosions of Leicester coach Richard Cockerill, we are looking for your suggestions for which players, past or present, you want to see treading the touchline.

Perhaps you think that Sebastian Chabal would be more successful convincing France backs to run the ball than tourists to use a particular brand of foreign exchange?

Or does Jonny Wilkinson have the quiet certainty to inspire like Ian McGeechan on a Lions tour?

And which translator would you employ to make a Nick Cummins team-talk comprehensible?

France are the lowest scoring side in this year's Six Nations - racking up just two tries and 39 points in three games so far.

After their home defeat by France last time out, Saint-Andre described some of his players as "starlettes", more concerned with having their photo taken than representing their country.

Thirty-five games into his job as France coach, Saint-Andre has a lower win percentage (43% to 57%) and fewer tries (57 to 72) than Lievremont had managed at the same stage.

All of which led the influential Midi Olympique rugby newspaper to ask if the France squad is on the "brink of implosion".

A trip into the high-pressure atmosphere of the Stadio Olimpico is about to test their theory.

As Gavin Mortimer in Rugby World explains,, external Philippe Saint-Andre in 2015 is essentially Marc Lievremont in 2011.

But while Lievremont had a Grand Slam, a drawn series in New Zealand and a World Cup final appearance to point to by the time he left the hot seat, Saint-Andre is unlikely to depart with his CV similarly bolstered.

Or with such an excellent moustache.
