If wales lose today and Ireland win (or vis versa) then I am sure Wales/Ireland will come out fighting next week and probably play their best rugby as a matter of pride. However, if it comes down to next week being the decider, I think both teams will be too cautious to play exciting rugby and it will turn into an england game - dull and boring!!! I seriously hope we win tomorrow, but more than that I want to see flair, passion, pride and conviction in how we play. If not, as ashamed as I am to say it, I may actually find myself cheering on the Frogs! Sorry guys, but I disagree.

They always seem to spoil the party for one team at home each season, mainly England. Ireland seem such a sure bet, but we all know they have the capacity to fold and retreat into their shell. England by 4, and Wales by a lot in the other games. I’ve gone for a Scotland win in Edinburgh. They always seem to spoil the party for one team at home each season, mainly England.

Italy v Wales - Wales by 12 (may be a lot more, maybe a less, I don't know). Ireland v Scotland Ireland by 15 (I dearly hope I am wrong, as a big points difference could give Ireland the championship). If you take France out of the picture there have been no upsets throughout the tournament, therefore maybe England will continue that trend and beat France this weekend. England v France
