Six Nations Update

So after the first round of matches the Mad4Sport predicted final table doesn't look quite as unlikely as when first posted! With England expecting a win against Italy next up, a finish in the top half of the table would appear realistic although with tough games to follow.
The Ireland v Wales match was a cracker albeit marred somewhat by Bradley Davies' dangerous tackle which warranted a straight red card. Wales now look set for a good run in the tournament having won in Dublin - no mean feat!
France however looked in fine form against Italy and will remain favourites for the title....at least for now.

Six Nations

At Mad4Sport we are all looking forward to the annual 6 Nations festival of rugby. The action begins on Saturday with the highlight being the clash at Murrayfield between Scotland and the "Auld Enemy" England.
Unusually Scotland start as favourites with the benefit of home advantage and a settled side while England must enter the hostile stadium with a largely new, inexperienced team under the captaincy of Harlequins Chris Robshaw (a man with just one cap to his name!).
We would love to know your thoughts/predictions for the tournament. Here's ours:
1st France
2nd England
3rd Wales
4th Ireland
5th Scotland
6th Italy
