Six nations predictions

The Six Nations kicks off this weekend and Sports Trader takes a look at the betting and makes some predictions.

Outright winner - odds offered by World Sports Betting:
Wales - 22/10
England - 3/1
France - 3/1
Ireland - 7/2
Scotland - 14/1
Italy - 80/1

We're backing France to win this year... They've had a pretty low key build up but we think they could be a surprise package here.

Italy are obviously still outta their depth but wouldn't be surprised if they give a few nudges to their more glamorous counterparts. I'm expecting them to be a bit more competitive than they were last year and remember they pushed England and Ireland quite close last year.

For the weekends fixtures here are our predictions:

Saturday:

England vs Italy - England win
Ireland vs. France - France win

Sunday:
Scotland vs. Wales - Wales win
