Though their mid field has been very poor and I can't see Ireland kicking poorly to the back 3, so it would be more turnover ball that would release the back 3. Still think Ireland by 6 points or so.

I replied to apaul's post before Joe had definitely been ruled out. Mako has deffo been promoted to starting XV now, with Matt Mullan replacing him on bench (well done that lad)

Joe does look older than 23 years old. I think it's the receding hairline, which he tries to hide with the silly haircuts

France could steal another bloody 2 point victory - that's what I'd be nervous about

You should be in for a good day. I think all 3 matches will be good. I'm hoping England have too much for Italy but it won't be plain sailing. I expect Wales to beat Scotland fairly comfortably...possibly even 15+. They will be much more of a threat with Biggar starting. 1/2p is a huge loss, he would be to any team for his goal kicking alone but Biggar is an adequate kicker himself plus he's just a better player than a Priestland low on confidence. Very surprised that Gatland didn't go with Warburton, Tipuric, Faletau backrow though.

Ireland should win in France. If both teams play to their current form, France could be embarrassed but, as always, you just never know what you're gonna get with them. Momma says they're like a box of chocolates

Naturally I would like France to win as it kinda helps England get a championship. Ireland probably just shade it as the best team but England have done pretty well too. Not bothered about BOD going out on a high and I don't mean any disrespect by saying that. The fella has achieved so much in his career and he is deemed by many (including myself) as one of the best centres of the modern era. The Lions showed that there isn't much room for being sentimental in sport so the perfect ending doesn't always happen. That said, if Ireland win in Paris, there will be absolutely no complaints from me.

England to win narrowly in Italy.
Wales to comfortably beat Scotland.
Ireland to win in France and deservedly claim the Six Nations.

The Italy and England game is on before the Welsh match. Now, in fact.

I'm hoping the Irish get it, I'd been thinking from the second weekend it would be theirs or France's this year but I'm going to go for the men in green.

Both England props struggling.

It's high risk rugby from England...nice to see but it's not always on. Lots of mistakes being made.

A little structure would be nice at times.
