Although it is hard to tell after two matches it looks like Ireland v England will be the big one. If England win then France will be the final hurdle and if Ireland win they will need to beat Wales - that is if anyone is to do the Grand Slam.
Ireland's game management and home advantage could make all the difference - reckon England would win at Twickenham.

I am still sticking with Ireland to win the whole thing. For champions with some good results in the Autumn they weren't really fancied at the start which I found bizarre.

Course will be hoping England win there but don't think they will. England will beat France and Scotland though to be bridesmaid yet again.

None of these sides will win or really push in the WC based on what they have showed so far though - far from it

Think England have showed they have a good squad and will compete and Ireland have showed how tactically aware they are. Both teams will be dangerous. England have a very tough world cup group and, if they win the group, beatable opposition to face. Coming second in the group will be a problem for England and is imminently possible. For what it's worth England play like the All-Blacks in patches, and then poorly in others. If England can cut out the poor spells then they can still win the Grand Slam. Ireland are so consistent though that it will be tough. Ireland have weaknesses, again particularly the scrum, surely England are well placed to benefit from this. Lancaster , Farrell and Rowntree are no fools and will have noticed this. Schmidt is probably coming up with something as we speak. Sexton to play for Racing this weekend - which may prove crucial. Ireland are not as good a side without him. Maddigan is a good player but Sexton is probably the best Northern hemisphere out-half.

Heslip is out for Ireland so there will be a slightly different back-row. O'Brien will be back but not sure he will be the eight.
Brown out for England - not sure who will replace him? Was wondering will Watson be full-back?
Any ideas?

Yep Goode will come straight in for Brown. Hasn't got the dynamism in his running but is a safe pair of hands and a good kicker.

Really up for this one

I know it will end in disappointment though

Ireland to beat England by less than 5
France to beat Wales by less than 7
Scotland to beat Italy by 7 or more

Johnny May has been dropped but Nowell from Exeter has come in - he's not quite the full ticket even

I'm not as confident about these as I was last time but I think this week it'll be:

Ireland to beat England by 10+.
France to beat Wales by 10+.
Scotland to beat Italy by 15+.
