England v Wales, 16:30
Quick run down - this should be interesting, we have an England side with some risks - in the front row we have a 'safe' lineup which could be classed as showing little risk - and with some strong guys in the 2nd row - and beyond... Should be a fairly solid pack.
Behind this - we have some interesting decisions - with Gommars playing (yes he was great in the World Cup...) who has forgotten how to play properly - and Jonny as Fly - will be interesting when Danny Cipriani comes on though and the the impact he may make on the pitch. I'm pleased to see Tait dropped after his diabolical performance last weekend for Newcastle. With Balshaw playing at fullback I've some concerns but hopefully we will be able to do something special, and with the Volcano likely to come on - he should stomp some Welsh boys.
On to Wales - talk about desperation - they have literally picked the entire Ospreys team - yep they are playing well but c'mon guys...! Also the winning vibes which Shaun Edwards puts in everyside no doubt should help lift them at Twickers.
My prediction - it will be close IF England play bad - if not should be explosive. I'm concerned about the amount of 'bonding' time the team has had.
Ireland v Italy, 14:00
Simple - Even though some of the Italian internationals have had some fantastic progress made in the Premiership and other Europeant team with some of their players - they still are not strong enough to actually challenge someone as strong as France or England. However it is guaranteed to be a physical match. Ireland have been far from onform. We have seen some good HC play from Munster and such this momentum should help Ireland easily turn over Italy at Croke Park.
Ireland win.

Scotland v France, 15:00
I'd love Scotland to have a good 6 nations - but I know it won't happen, they did well in the World Cup but I am certain France will be on a point proving tournament this year - esp after last years world Cup 'disaster' as they probably view it...
France to win.
I suspect the end of 6 nations will have a table something like this
England
France
Wales
Ireland
Scotland
Italy....
.... I'm sure that an Ospreys side can beat the Irish...![]()
