Six Nations Predictions: France, Wales Ospreys, and England all to win

Whether you're watching the games in a stadium, in the pub, rugby club or plonked on your sofa... there's some mouth watering action coming our way. Here's my predictions for this weekend's action. Let me know if you think I've got it right, or if I'm (as ever) talking out of my hole...

France v Ireland (16:00)
Probably the hardest one to call. The French team is full of new faces, and are as injury hit as England. However Ireland, bizarrely aren't the team they were mere months ago. On paper Ireland should win, but they won't. The Frenchies to cruise to victory thanks to home advantage.

Wales Ospreys v Scotland (14:00)
I think half of Wales is still dancing in the street after Ospreys squeezed past England in a shock but brilliantly executed win. With Gatland in control they've certainly got the talent and motivation to power past poor Scotland. Escpecially at home.

Italy v England (14:30)
The pressure is on. After last week Ashton and Wilkinson can not lose in Rome, or even dare come close to it. Which of course makes defeat all the more likely. Thankfully Italy are pretty dire - if England were playing France or Ireland on Sunday, it could have been a disaster. England to win though.
