Wales lost their final game of the weekend at home against a French team in Cardiff, who found their winning formula in the second half and went on to win comfortably. There have been four points or fewer between the teams at the end of seven of the twelve games played this year, with the clubs being separated by no more than three points in six of those contests.

At least half of the matches in the Championship have been decided by three points or less for the first time since 1985 (15/10). The results of last year’s Six Nations are strikingly different from this year’s, as only two games (England vs. Scotland and Italy vs. France, both in Round 1) were decided by a single point. The lowest winning margin then was five points.
