Ireland 42 – 10 Italy
Once again Italy’s place-kicking let them down. While Jonny Sexton landed seven of his eight attempts, the Azzurri missed three penalties and a drop. It might not have changed the final result, but it certainly could have changed the complexion of the game as Italy could very well have held the lead in the closing stages of the first half had Tobias Botes been more accurate.
Ireland were the better team in almost every aspect. The visitors to Dublin only really competed in the set pieces.

England 12 – 19 Wales
For all our praise of Wales and their running game, Warren Gatland’s boys were the only team to choose to drive it up more than past to the man outside last weekend.
In a game of tiny margins, England’s error count and penalty rate cost them.

Scotland 17 – 23 France
It’s the same old story for Scotland: Lot’s of possession, lots of field position…but what did they do with it? Not a whole lot.
Defensive glitches were the deciding factor in the end though as both Wesley Fofana and Julien Malzieu’s tries came as the result of poor tackling by the Scots. And with France giving away minimal penalties, Andy Robinson’s side couldn’t kick their way back into contention.
