Each one of yesterday’s 27 tries tells its own story in the Six Nations’ greatest ever day

BY NOW YOUR heart-rate has probably stabilised enough for you to look back on yesterday’s rugby with a semblance of calm. There were 27 tries scored in all and many of them were absolute beauties.

Each try seemed to shift the day’s narrative a different way, causing fans to dust off old calculators and abacuses to find how what new total their team needed to hit.

We thought it would be a good idea to refresh your memory as to the quality of yesterday’s scores, starting at the very beginning.
