What is the likely starting front row?
6 Nations starts a week Saturday with Scotland v Ireland, England v France and on Sunday Italy face Wales.Very hard to call an overall winner, heart says England but head says Ireland obviously it could and should all come down to the final weekend with England facing the Irish in Dublin at 5pm. Can't see any farther than Italy for the wooden spoon.One upset that looks quite plausible is on opening weekend where Scotland must have a fair chance to put one over the Irish at home, should be a great clash to start the competition.Incidentally, plans are afoot to turn the 6N into a 5 week competition at the behest of Premiership clubs, could be a double edged sword I suppose with the additional stress, pressure & injury likelihood increasing in a reduced timeframe.Final table..........EnglandIrelandFranceScotland WalesItaly

Ireland, Wales and Italy at homeYou seriously expect me to put Wales and Scotland above them? They're improving, if they turn up they're always a force.
