    Player of the tournamentMaro Itoje (England). Played every minute of every England game and, in his first championship as skipper, helped guide his side to four consecutive wins. The more responsibility he is handed the better he seems to perform. An attribute which will not have escaped the notice of Andy Farrell, the British & Irish Lions head coach. Robert KitsonLouis Bielle-Biarrey (France).

    Play the match, not the occasion. Lap up the theatre, the dramatics, the pyrotechnics, the hostility, if that is what gets you going, but when you cross the white line, play what is in front of you. If there is one message that should have been hammered home to England’s players this week, it is exactly that.

    I have a great deal of sympathy for Marcus Smith. I really feel for him because these past few weeks will have been really mentally tough to deal with. It’s patently obvious that his preferred position is fly-half but he has been asked to do a job for the greater good of the team and has done so willingly. You can dress it up however you like but going from starting No 10, to playing out of position, to the bench is a demotion and that will be tough to take.

    Saturday is a day that has been ringed in the calendar for months. The anticipation of France and Ireland renewing rivalries has been immense and what always shaped up as the likely decider for the championship will prove to be exactly that. Again. They have been the two most consistent, outstanding teams in the Six Nations for years now and they rarely disappoint when they lock horns. It’s an intense rivalry but it isn’t fuelled by geographical reasons or historical antipathy.
