As the players enjoy a chance to relax Italy are once again more than a match clear in the Open series. Norway, Ireland, Hungary, Iceland and Sweden occupy the next five places, and will be pleased that there is some significant daylight developing before we come to the Netherlands, Denmark and Poland.

Scoring a tremendous 74 VP lifted England to the top of the Women's table, ahead of the Netherlands, who also leapfrogged past Germany, who are followed by France and Denmark. These five teams are already looking like qualifiers, and there is a significant gap to sixth placed Croatia.

In the Seniors Turkey stay on top but they are now followed by Sweden and France.
