Predictions:
Ireland Italy. Gotta be Ireland, even though I would love Italy to take a scalp and I think they are getting better, Ireland are just the better team.
Next two are hard to predict.
Scotland France. I'm hoping France don't decide to click for this one match, but I'm worried they will. If Scotland can keep them out and disrupt them for the first 20 to 30 minutes, I think Scotland will win. If France get confidence early on, France will get their tails up and win. I just checked Planet Rugby's prediction voter page - 43% have France to win by 1 - 12 points, 43% have Scotland. Not scientific in the slightest, but there you go.
England Wales. England are clearly the form team and have got a game plan that suits them and their players. But - it's Wales, it's at home and everyone knows this alters things. I think England will take it but it'll be a close one, probably decided by some controversial 77 minute decision. The arguments will rage on for weeks.
