6N, Week 3 - Stats

There were three matches which were so exciting on the weekend – Wales ahead early against France who came back, Italy ahead ridiculously early against Scotland who did not come back and all that rain and emotion in Dublin.

What a day Saturday was!

Soundsure have again provided much of the statistical information.

Sanctionary Cards

There were three this weekend – two in Edinburgh and one in Dublin – Simon Taylor, Gonzalo Canale and Danny Grewcock.

Gonzalo Canale was sent to the sin bin with less than a minute remaining but in Dublin Ireland scored 14 points while Danny Grewcock was absent.
