I say, no grand slam. A few upsets but generally will stay the same kind of table standing with Ireland, Wales and England at the top (not the order) and Scotland, France and Italy trail
I think Ireland will struggle due to injuries, they would win it otherwise. England will probably win out and hopefully Scotland will finally live up to their potential but ... probably not.
No :(
Is there a way to watch this in the U.K. without online streaming?
Injuries will change outcomes, but all nations are showing good depth in their benches. 6N will be interesting as always!
Ireland having their home game against England could tip the balance, but I can't see Wales turning themselves round to beat England even at home. Really glad that the final match is England vs Ireland, that should be a great game and potentially a grand slam decider
Ireland to win the championship with France and England at home. Wales are looking at battling for 3/4th place with Scotland and/or France. I'm going to go with Ireland, England, France, Scotland, Wales and then Italy in 6th but maybe not with the wooden spoon. They are developing enough to deserve to beat Wales or Scotland.
England are probably still the team to beat even after a quiet but successful Autumn so far. However I think Ireland have the confidence, depth and most importantly the coach to go on and win it.
The way the fixtures fall, Ireland and Wales both at home to England make it really tight. Can't see a grand slam for anyone.
I really hope Ireland beat England next year, but it will be a close match and impossible to pick based on what we've seen this year. All blacks still with the dominance but FINALLY the rest of the world has got heir act together and are playing good rugby. Loving the close and intense games. Like France tonight, completely different team that we played in the World Cup quarter final and I love it. Go all blacks!
Even with O'Shea as coach, I can't see a team other than Italy finishing bottom rn
If not Italy for the wooden spoon, then who?
