The weekend saw wins for Ireland, Wales and England.

Ireland claimed a valuable win over France in Dublin as they remain unbeaten in the RBS Six Nations.

The boot of Jonathan Sexton helped the Irish to a 18-11 win over a somewhat disappointing French side. At Twickenham, England had an early scare against Italy but managed to come back for a comfortable 47-17 win. Scotland remain without a point after narrowly losing 23-26 to Wales at Murrayfield.

Here is our round-up of matchday two in the 2015 Six Nations.

Ireland 18-11 France

France arrived at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin boasting a proud record of never being beaten in Ireland's new home but they were going home disappointed as the kicking of Jonathan Sexton drove the Irish to victory.

In a repeat of the final game of the 2014 Six Nations, Ireland battled through a largely scrappy game of few chances. Man-of-the-match Sexton kicked five penalties, with his replacement Ian Madigan claiming another to give Ireland a 18-11 win. France were somewhat subdued and only really came to life in the second half when lock Roman Taofifenua went over for the game's only try.

However, it was not enough as Ireland and Sexton ensured the game was safe converting two penalties in the closing minutes.

Scotland 23-26 Wales

Wales got their Six Nations up and running with a narrow victory over Scotland at Murrayfield. The hosts started brightly with a Stuart Hogg try putting them 7-3 ahead but Wales battled back and three penalties from Leigh Halfpenny and a try by Rhys Webb sent the visitors in 16-10 up at the break.

The 2013 champions then looked to take control with a further penalty from Halfpenny and a Jonathan Davies try giving them a 26-16 advantage. Scotland were not finished and Jon Welsh went over for another try, converted by Greig Laidlaw, to put the hosts within three points of Wales but they were not able to carry on as the referee brought the game to a close.

England 47-17 Italy

At Twickenham, England were able to build on their opening day win over Wales with a comfortable victory against Italy. The hosts stunned the London crowd when captain Sergio Parisse scored a try to give the visitors an early lead. However, it was shortlived Billy Vunipola went over to put England ahead.

Jonathan Joseph impressed once again scoring two tries as England took full control of the game. Ben Youngs and substitute Danny Cipriani added a try each while the kicking of George Ford gave the home side a commanding 47-10 lead. Italy did respond with a try from Luca Morisi, his second of the afternoon, but it was ultimately England's day.
