    Wales to win by 23
    Ireland to win by 15
    France to win by 2
    Italy won't just roll over especially in Rome and Wales haven't won by much the last few years.
    Ireland to have a tough match and put a gloss on the score boars in last 10 minutes.
    France to stand up and actually play as we know they can for the first time this season and turn England over.

    Very nervous, my predictions;

    Wales by 10, Italy to stay in touch to last 5 min.
    Ireland by 3, letting a 10 point lead slip.
    France by 1, scoring try of the tournament after 80 has passed.

    Last play of England France to result in us being champions.

    Unfortunately can't see Ireland winning by more than 15 points today. In fact it could be possibly much less. Scotland aren't just going to roll over and we are having trouble scoring tries right now. I think Ireland's thinking all week is that Wales will put a 40 plus points diff on Italy. However we must keep the back door shut. Remember its points difference we are chasing not points scored. So keeping the game tight for the first hour should be the priority and then see if we can rack up 20 plus points in last 20 minutes.

    Have gone undercover behind enemy lines for today. So far undercover that I'll be in an English church come kickoff. Started the attack last night with a quickfire demolition job on a cheeky Scotch or three... They went down easily, just like they will today.

    COME ON IRELAND!!!

    Italy 15-40 Wales
    Scotland 12-29 Ireland
    England 36-10 France

    Italy will put up some resistance to Wales. Ireland to struggle in the first half but to be camped in the Scottish line for most of the second trying to put up a score and France to roll over against England because they are a terrible team and coach.

    They often have at Twickenham. Got some big beatings there in recent years.

    It's actually great craic. They went mad for the Italian try. One of the old boys said to me they wanted Italy, Ireland and France to win for obvious reasons. I said I doubt the players are thinking that... Wish they were!

    Not much of a hope now. England maybe if France don't show up.

    Great from Wales but utterly pathetic from the Italians.

    Surely we needed a big win anyway to prevent to pull away from England. At least this is will set a clear target to both bypass Wales and make it extra hard for England.

    We need to play rugby and win big today. We've shown nothing so far to indicate that we'll be able to do it, but we have to believe.

    Game over before it starts thanks to Italian capitulation. Now we'll see if Ireland can attack. No point even taking penalties in the Scottish game now. It's all or nothing.

    I'll always maintain an element of hope, but my head is telling me that we won't be celebrating anything other than a match win today

    Going to miss Hook so much. The 'new breed' are either looking after their future Irish management prospects (O'Shea) or too close to the players (Shaggy, ROG) to call it as they see it.

    Sterile, inoffensive punditry. We may as well b e watching ITV during an England football international. :(

    ROG has no issue calling it as he sees it. Horgan is Sheehan-like when it comes to his former team-mates and coaches, but he is decent when Leinster/Ireland aren't involved.

    Negative rugby is dead and buried thanks to magnificent coach Gatland and his brilliant attacking Wales team.
