Here comes the results of this week:

Wales - France: 27-6
France were undisciplined and unimaginative and the Welsh scrum was over-dominant (but the other sectors too) resulting in a logical win for Wales.

Italy - Scotland: 20-21
Italy dominated the first half and the second half was more balanced with the Scots coming back and getting ahead only to see Italy getting ahead 20 to 18.
In the last action of the game, Scotland scored thanks to a drop and won the day.

England-Ireland: 13-10
The best game so far with a lot (and I do mean a lot) of physical action and good offensive and defensive moves on both side.
Both sides played well and both could have won.

The results from yesterday and today make the final ranking impossible to know.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Didn't see the Italy - Ireland game so can't comment, but Scotland played well for most of the match but couldn't score.

I heard on radio that France did okay (they won) but were not convincing or good.

England - Italy : 47-17
Ireland - France : 18-11
Scotland - Wales : 23-26

I didn't see England play but they seem to be the team to watch this year.
For the two others, the key was discipline, discipline and discipline.
