Meanwhile, the latest odds from William Hill suggest the Six Nations will be one of the closest in recent memory with Wales the narrow favourites at 11-5, closely followed by France and England both of whom are 9-4.
With so many teams in with a shout it will come as little surprise the odds suggest we will not see a Grand Slam this year at 4-6. There’s no stopping the most patriotic punters in the rugby world as Wales have been heavily backed for the Slam at 6-1 with bets of up to £500 placed with William Hill.

Seems to be divided opinion about the France V England game. French inconsistency vs English inexperience!

Italy in turmoil so ive heard. Injuries, low on confidence, in hse fighting.
Rugbyman , ur going to lose money if u back england this wend they will not win
Am on north 7/1 top tournament try scorer and foffanna 11/1 for bit of interest. Going be tight 6 nations this year there will be no grand slam and as for value bet 6/1 Ireland to win in what will be the last hoorah for many of the Irish lads
over 12.5 cards at willie hills.
Can’t see the Irish winning it Lee. Be a nice swan song for O’Driscoll but doubt the bookies have got it much wrong. Think the Scots will give them a decent game tomorrow
Big tone your right it wont be easy for the irish I just think its going be very close this year so I took ireland as value for bit of interest. Then again I took france last year and look how that turned out :)
Well how wrong was I jeez could not see that coming
think ireland will cover handicap -12 thx minty for spotting my error game in dublin not edinburgh lol
