Wales
Showed real spirit in their second half fightback against the French, but were too far behind to get anything from the game.
Verdict: 4th place with 4 pts. About right @ 9.8, still to face Italy.
France
Les Bleus were clinical against the Welsh in Cardiff. Should now complete the Grand Slam.
Verdict: 1st place with 10 points. Certs @ 59-60, the grand slam awaits.
Ireland
Outplayed a 'stupid' England team and scored three great tries at Twickenham.
Verdict: 2nd place with 8 points. Settling for 2nd @ 40, good enough to beat England for 2nd.
England
Martin Johnson has his work cut out teaching the England team how to hold onto games.
Verdict: 3rd place with 6 points. They looked very average in Rome & Twickenham.
Scotland
Their Six Nations world collapsed when they didn't end the game against Wales -now they have lost against Italy, they have to start re-building.
Verdict: 6th place with 0 points. Priced correctly @ 0.5-1, best left alone.
Italy
Deservedly beat the Scots in Rome with a display of solid, tight rugby.
Verdict: 5th place with 2 points. A small buy @ 4.
