Six Nations - Week 5

Six Nations Series - Week 5

Fixtures - Week 5

• Wales vs Italy - The Welsh really put it up to the French at the weekend. The opening exchanges were a spectacle of attacking rugby. However, it wasn’t meant to be and France capitalised on the Welsh cracks that appeared. I have no idea how this match will go.

• Ireland vs Scotland - The Irish are still licking their wounds from a heartbreaking defeat against England last week. A high-tension and nail-biting affair to say the least. The aspirations of a Grand Slam are no more, but, given Scotland’s defeat to Italy, the Irish have this one.

• France vs England - The England squad’s vigour and determination against the Irish was a real eye-opener. This previously written-off English side are proving their haters wrong and I really fancy them against a very lack-lustre French side.
