6 nations review

England vs France- This is the big game of the weekend as the 2 unbeaten teams face each other. There isnt too much to choose from there 2 matches they have played. For England it was a good victory at the Millenium stadium first up. It was a tough first match going there with the atmosphere and the edge against each other. The second match for England was an good demonstration by the English on how to put on a show for the home fans as they swept away Italy at Twickenham.

For France they were very impressive against Scotland at home. Some of the Rugby was amazing to watch even though Scotland did put up an spirited performance. The second match wasnt as good for the French but they did the job well enough to win at Ireland by 3 points. By having that away victory they will come to Twickenham with great confidence. Prediciton: I think England will win this but will be close.

Italy v Wales- Wales will come to Italy with so much more confidence after winning impressively against Scotland last week. They were much more solid in defense took there chances and cut out the mistakes. Italy on the other hand will be shattered after there match against England. They will be glad they have a week off but memories of the match against Ireland here will still be in the back of there minds. I think as long as that Wales which played Scotland come out they should win this comfortably but if it is the same as England then we might be going for a closer match. Either way I fancy Wales to win either way.

Scotland v Ireland- This will be an difficult match to predict. For Scotland they played so well in there first match and still lost but were not crushed in defeat. But the second match was very poor against the Welsh and not one player can claim to have had a good match. For Ireland they won the there first match by 2 points but it was only an late drop goal which won it. It wasnt an impressive win. But the second match was a really tight loss where they played really well and only lost by 3 points. I fancy Scotland to come out on top. I think Andy Robinson will demand an reaction from his boys and having the home fans with him he will get that. I think it will be an close match.
