Scotienii au facut un meci excelent si conduceau la un moment dat cu 21-9, ba chiar cu 4 minute inainte de final aveau 24-14. Va vine sa credeti sau nu, scorul final a fost 31-24 pentru galezi. Imediat dupa, Franta si-a continuat marsul spre titlu si a trecut la pas de Irlanda, un meci dominat fara emotii de "cocosi". A doua zi, Anglia s-a cam chinuit cu Italia si nu a reusit decat un 17-12. Runda care vine Tara Galilor - Franta si Anglia - Irlanda. Marele derby Franta - Anglia se joaca in ultima etapa.
