Here are the points after the third week of matches.
France 34:17 Italy
France made five changes to the team that lost in Scotland, with eight players in total dropped for "inappropriate behaviour". There were even thoughts that Italy had never been handed such a good chance to win. This led to a wide range of predictions from Italy +3 all the way up to France +41.
France wasted countless chances before eventually putting away a tiring Italy +17.
Well done to [MENTION=13655]Ludensian Gull[/MENTION] and [MENTION=17768]Petee[/MENTION] who both predicted the winning margin exactly.
Ireland 37:27 Wales
While Ireland had their injury worries Wales were confident with the returning Lions trio of Dan Biggar, Liam Williams and Leigh Halfpenny. We all thought it was going to be a close game and the predictions ranged from Ireland +12 to Wales +8.
It ended up as close as we thought with an Ireland +10 difference.
Seven of you got this right so congratulations go to [MENTION=33723]Bod[/MENTION] [MENTION=5238]Brian Fantana[/MENTION] [MENTION=34090]Leegull[/MENTION] [MENTION=12862]madinthehead[/MENTION] [MENTION=13309]maltaseagull[/MENTION] [MENTION=34106]ManOfSussex[/MENTION] and [MENTION=26802]martin tyler[/MENTION]
Scotland 25:13 England
There were the usual mind-games from both sides of the border before this match. All bar one of us thought England would win from +6 up to +25.
Scotland went into the break with 16 point advantage and England were giving away penalties left, right and centre.
[MENTION=21669]Gregory2,Smith1[/MENTION] was the one who went against the crowd with Scotland +2
