So this starts tomorrow. Wales v Ireland at 1.30pm, followed by England v Scotland at 4.00pm. Italy host France on Sunday.

Nice to see they've got rid of the Friday evening games this time round.

I have very low expectations of Wales taking into account recent performances. England have been getting stronger and (much as I hate to say it) are probably favourites. I doubt any team will win the Grand Slam this time, though.

Overall, I reckon the final table will look something like this:

England
France
Ireland
Wales
Scotland
Italy.

Predictions, any other business, etc?
