2017 Six Nations: Best of Social Media from round 3

Comments

Round three of the 2017 Six Nations was overcast by the 'Ruck Gate' scandal at Twickenham, but Scotland recorded their first win against Wales in a decade, and Ireland edged out a nervy game against France in Dublin.

Aside from the on-pitch action, here is a round up from the best of social media throughout the weekend.

'RUCK GATE SCANDAL'

SERGIO FAN CLUB

Meanwhile Sergio Parisse's skills were praised as usual.

And the Italy captain has a lot of keen fans.

 

Not really sure what this does, but Sergio recovered in style after the game at Twickenham.

In case you missed the action and have no idea what happened...

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea Will...

SIMPLY SCOTTISH

Was this actually Finn Russell's Dad?!

Former Auckland Blue Ben Atiga showed appreciation for Scotland forward Hamish Watson.

Scottish MP Alex Salmond was also chuffed with the result.

This is the most Scottish thing ever seen.

SEXTON APPEAL

Ireland fans celebrated in their usual manner.

And Johnny Sexton received praise after returning from a period of injury.

But this is just weird.

    Another typo! Hamish WATSON, not Wilson.

    It was clearly a typo, that has now been amended. Thanks for the feedback

    You guys are well versed with Scottish players. Atiga's comment about an immovable object refers to Hamish Watson, not Ryan Wilson. Start checking things and stop having wild stabs in the dark.

    That last one is awesome!!

    Don't think Dawson's shitty tweet should be included without at least some of the thoroughly deserved abuse he received in response.
