Wales 30-15 Scotland: Warren Gatland leads Wales for the first time at home hoping to build on the win over England Wales start the better side but the radar boot of wing Chris Paterson gives Scotland a 3-0 lead Wales look far more dangerous in attack and Shane Williams dances through the Scotland defence to put his side ahead Scotland fly-half Dan Parks opts to kick for territory with ball in hand, making the first half a scrappy affair Wales struggle to shrug off a stubborn Scotland but James Hook's second-half try puts Wales in charge Despite Wales dominating, Paterson keeps his side in touch and his fifth penalty pulls the side to within two points A sensational - and equally controversial - score from Shane Williams in the 67th minute puts Wales out of sight France 26-21 Ireland: The Irish know they need a good performance in Paris to silence the critics back home Ireland start brightly enough but wing Vincent Clerc opens the scoring for France, despite the efforts of Rob Kearney France look dangerous every time they attack and Clerc seals his hat-trick with a fine score just before the break Cedric Heymans adds another but an Irish penalty try and Wallace's close-range score puts Ireland back in the game Tony Buckley and Eoin Reddan are dejected at the final whistle following their narrow defeat to France Vincent Clerc salutes the crowd in Paris as France record their second victory of the tournament
