It is time for Planet Rugby’s Sunday Social, your quirky recap of the serious and not so serious talking points from the weekend’s action.

The opening round of the Six Nations provided plenty of drama as Wales, Scotland and England kicked off with wins. Respect also won.

After such intense battles on the field, it’s great to see such #Respect when it’s all over.

Before the action, this Welsh supporter had his fridge stocked and ready for the coming weeks. We wonder if these will last until March 16.

There’s my #6Nations all sorted then. Come on Wales. #FravWal pic.twitter.com/nd1V6WqjbN

The champagne might have been popping after that comeback from his side though. This tweet rather sums up that game at the Stade de France.

Moving on to Saturday and the Six Nations resumed at Murrayfield, with this supporter believing that Scotland boast the best rugby anthem.

Flower of Scotland has to be one of the best anthems ♥️♥️#SCOvITA

It was then the big one in Dublin and what a performance England put in to stun the reigning champions. These tweets lavish praise on them.

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, was a test match. #IREvENG #6Nations

England just superb. Mako, Farrell, Curry, Manu, Maro, May, Slade (💕💕💕) properly at it.

Thank you Ireland and England for an exceptional display of test rugby and non stop intensity from first whistle to last. Recover well.

Some belting England wins in 2016, especially Down Under, but surely England’s best effort under EJ. Quality job, against the highest class of opposition.
