Referees to 11 February 2013
What an exciting start to the Six Nations – a thriller in Cardiff, creative England at Twickenham and the excitement of Rome. The prospect of the second week is mouth-watering as the Six Nations move to Edinburgh, Paris and Dublin.
It's close in the Six Nations B. Georgia beat Belgium 17-13, Russia beat Spain 13-9 and Romania beat Portugal 19-13.
This week the Sevens is in glitzy Las Vegas.
Meanwhile the Southern Hemisphere carries on warming up/
