i can't be bothered to dig up the old threads so i'm starting this afresh. the weekends fixtures are:

wales vs france - wales's chance at redeming their tournament
italy vs scotland - a test of scotlands commitment to attacking rugby
england vs ireland - a big fixture for two tranistional teams

my predicted results:

wales vs france 13-25
italy vs scotland 8-13
england vs ireland 27-19

can' decide whether to keep faith with johnny or bring sexton in at fly half in my fantasy squad.
