Six Nations team of the week: Which players impressed in round four?

The Six Nations title fight will be settled on the final day after a vintage penultimate weekend left it all to play for on “Super Saturday”. A stunning performance from Scotland threw the championship wide open as Gregor Townsend’s side conquered France in a 90-point epic, ending Les Bleus’ grand slam chances. Ireland , too, remain in the title mix having survived a spirited performance from Wales in Dublin under the Friday night lights.

History, meanwhile, was made by Italy as they beat England for the first time in their history at the 33rd attempt. But which players impressed in round four? Here are our picks for the Six Nations team of the week: Loosehead prop: Rhys Carre, Wales Wales’ Rhys Carre (right) scored a fine solo try against Ireland (PA Wire) Was Carre’s sensational solo score enough on its own to earn inclusion here?

Almost certainly, but his superb work in wider confines was matched by a number of thumping hits in the tight, as well as a strong scrummaging effort. The loosehead has fully emerged as an international force in this campaign, although faces plenty of competition for this spot: Pierre Schoeman, Jean-Baptiste Gros and Danilo Fischetti can count themselves unfortunate. Hooker: Ronan Kelleher, Ireland Kelleher perhaps went under the radar for Ireland yet showed again why he is such a fine deputy to Dan Sheehan, averaging three metres per carry to show his might and chipping in with 17 tackles.

Giacomo Nicotera went well for Italy but for one moment of madness that saw him sent to the sin bin. Tighthead prop: Zander Fagerson, Scotland Credit must go to for D’Arcy Rae for getting Scotland off to a strong start, and to Gregor Townsend for holding Fagerson in reserve before sending his top prop on just before half time. The tighthead got around the park superbly, producing eight carries and nine tackles in 40 minutes while continuing to stabilise the scrum.
