The Six Nations resumed last weekend, and all three matches provided plenty of drama and excitement, which has left the tournament wide open.

Wales 27-6 France

Wales got back to winning ways with an excellent performance against France in Cardiff on Friday night, which ends the visitor’s chances of the Grand Slam.

The hosts got off to a flyer and a Leigh Halfpenny penalty put his side 3-0 up after just two minutes. And then a kick from Halfpenny was chased by George North, and a French mistake allowed North to cross over for the opening try.

Four further penalties gave Wales a commanding 20-6 lead at half-time, Jean-Marc Doussain and Jules Plisson the only scorers for a disappointing France performance.

Louis Picamoles was sin-binned in a tight second-half, but Wales captain Sam Warburton stretched over the line to give Wales a comfortable win.

Italy 20-21 Scotland

Scotland won the battle for what looks likely to be the wooden spoon with a last gasp dramatic win in Rome.

Tommaso Allan scored a try for the hosts, which was added by two penalties to give them a 13-3 lead at the break. But Scotland looked fired up for the second-half and Alex Dunbar crossed over twice in 13 minutes to give Scotland an 18-13 lead going into the final quarter.

But Italy soon responded with a well worked try from lock Josh Furno which looked to give the hosts victory. But Duncan Weir converted a drop goal with just 15 seconds remaining to send Scotland players and supporters into raptures.

England 13-10 Ireland

England make it two wins from three after defeating Grand Slam and Triple Crown chasing Ireland at Twickenham.

A poor first-half saw England go into half-time 3-0 up courtesy of a penalty from fly-half Owen Farrell.

But 90 seconds into the second-half the game burst into life when Ireland scored a clever try through Rob Kearney, who spotted a gap in the English defence and ran under the posts.

England responded with a well-worked try from three Harlequins players. Chris Robshaw offloaded to Mike Brown, who broke away and passed to scrum-half Danny Care, who crossed over the line for a superb team try, which was converted, and England held on.

So these results mean four teams on four points, and it is set to be an enthralling contest.
