It's time for our Monday update on who is thriving and who is struggling after the weekend's events. Ireland successfully defended their Six Nations crown with a hard-fought win over Scotland, setting up an exciting showdown with the Springboks. Italy avoided the Wooden Spoon with a strong finish, while England's U20 team triumphed in a thrilling tournament. Georgia continued their dominance in the Rugby Europe Championship, and Eben Etzebeth was named South African Rugby Men’s Player of the Year.

Unfortunately, Wales had a disastrous campaign, with Warren Gatland offering to resign. Neil Jenkins' referee exchange and the Crusaders' losing streak are also causes for concern in the rugby world.
