Official Six Nations Thread (186)

hey stanley good post.
my heart tells me ireland but my mind tells e france.
my mind is predicting a 10 point win for france unfortunately.
But i really hope im proved wrong.
i agree with your other 2 predictions but i predict england to win by 20+ .

The area that France always had held the advantage over Ireland was in strong aggressive loose forwards but in the last few years it is no longer that way with the likes of Ferris, Heaslip, Leamy, Wallace et al breaking through. Their three quarter line was somewhat lethargic in the main in Murrayfield last week whereas the Irish seemed to stand off a little against Italy; if the pack do their work then the game is for the taking. I predict a 21 15 win to Ireland.

England did well against Wales in the forward play and with Italy a little weak beyond number ten, this is the week for Johnson to get the ball moving and moving fast; I go with a 45 13 to England.

Lastly, Wales need to lift their game against a Scotland team who defended better than people expected them to. Trouble is, the Welsh team that is playing this season is give or take the same one who were arguably better than our Grand Slam; if they turn up tomorrow then Scotland need to be very very brave. Wales 29 Scotland 16

Mathieu Bastareaud will cause some damage to Ireland

France 23 Ireland 27
Italy 19 England 38
Wales 35 Scotland 20

Wales won't make the same mistakes like last week and gift Scotland an easy try. France will be tough but Ireland should beat them by no more than 5 points. Italy will be difficult at home but England should win it comfortably.
