Dublin's stand-out was Jonny Sexton, returning from concussion. His kicking was flawless in Ireland's win. He slotted all five of his shots at goal, collected a fantasy-boosting five points as man-of-the-match and shot up the kicking leaders-board (on 13) behind Ford, France's Camille Lopez (18) and Welshman Leigh Halfpenny (15).

Luca Morisi became the first Italian to cross twice in a Test against England and was the weekend's bolter, accelerating ahead of his compatriots to 16 fantasy points. Scrum-halves Conor Murray and Rhys Webb - a try-scorer for Wales again this week - stand next among the non-kickers, with overall respective scores of 15 and 14.

England's Danny Cipriani also deserves a mention for the cameo performance of the round. He grabbed a try and conversion from his first touches subbing for Ford and earned seven fantasy points- not bad for 18 minutes' work.

What we've learnt

That front-row players have the lowest average fantasy points per player

No man-of-the-match awards yet, and the most likely part of the team to get substituted. Of the 36 front-rank starts made in the six games played, only Richard Hibbard (against England last week) has lasted a full 80.

At least Scotland's replacement tight-head Jon Welsh did open the front-row union's try-scoring account. He bulldozed through in the last minute of the game against Wales at Murrayfield.

That Ireland's place-kickers are the most accurate

England's George Ford is the leading points-scorer in this Six Nations, but Ireland, their next opponents, have the most consistent place-kickers.

Jonny Sexton (5/5), Ian Keatley (5/5) and Ian Madigan (2/2) haven't missed in the opening two rounds leaving the Irish with the only 100% record in the tournament.
