Six Nations 2020 week 2 results
The second weekend of the Six Nations tournament is always a good indicator for what we can expect for the rest of this tournament. The teams that lost their first match, need to bounce back in order to make any chance of winning the tournament. This weekend was all about the storm Ciara in many sports all over Europe. The Six Nations womens match between Scotland and England was postponed due to the storm. All mens Six Nations matches were played despite the bad weather conditions.

Both teams doubled their points in the second half, which brought Ireland to the top of the table with a 24-14 victory.
Scotland versus England
