Well that made things very, very interesting !
Both Ireland and France, who were leading the standings, were beaten by those right behind them.
Now we have four teams with the same number of points !
Wales 27 - 6 France
Both a poor effort from the French, and an excellent effort from the Welsh who managed to exploit every flaw in the French defence. France's pushes were easily countered, leaving them little chance to catch up.
Italy 20 - 21 Scotland
What a finish !! Italy, winning until the very last minute (20-18) until a final drop-goal from Weir clinched the victory.
Very even match, though definitely in Italy's favour until about 30 minutes from the end, when the Scots kicked it up a notch and fought back.
Now only Italy remains on track to winning the wooden spoon.
England 13 - 10 Ireland
Excellent result for the excitement levels of the tournament, but rather dull match as the tug of war became repetitive after a while.
The first half, despite leaving the scoreboard clean, was more interesting as both teams were clearly throwing their all into the game, leading to a hardy stalemate.
