So. I think it is going to be hard for Wales playing France, Italy playing Scotland and for England playing Ireland.
France must get their act together at some point in this tournament - a lot of their dicey moments have been self-inflicted rather than as a result of being outplayed - and, besides, it will be nice for Fofana to dot a try in Cardiff and set a unique record of having scored in his first five internationals - all Six Nations games. Good luck to him.
Scotland are a good side and I suppose if there is no kudos in getting a wooden spoon, they will be desperate to trundle over Italy, and get a big W to end their campaign.
England look good but Ireland are full of trouble in the forwards, and from what I have seen, their back row are a handful. As long as Tommy Bowe doesn't get given any gift interceptions, the game could be very tight. Please, please do not go to the wire with Ronan O'Gara and one of his drop goal moments. Please St Patrick, enjoy your day, but don't let O'Gara near the ball!
May the best teams win and all three matches be a real feast of rugby...and get shot of Dallaglio and Guscott, who offer no entertainmernt for me. And those bloody scarves all the presenters seem to be wearing these days!
...somehow I think Rougerie might be shunted sideways and Mermoz given a chance to go 'bash a bash' against Tuilagi and Barritt.
