I feel immense pressure to predict exactly 24 points out again...it's messing with my punter's brain.
OK,
Italy 24 Wales 19
England 14 France 20
Scotland 26 Ireland 27

Well, then you are 100% sure you won't make any ground on him
Not that bold. He's picked the favourites for each game !!

Trouble is the pressure is getting to me. I actually thought about that rather than a random number generator. I need to hold it together for 2 more rounds to claim the £1,000 first prize.

I'm already picking France as winners so nothing changes if England decide to start with a decent club 10 who might be international standard in a few years time.
These should all be very close games this week.
Italy v Wales - Italy will be missing Capuozzo and Wales will be glad. Italy narrow win. 21 - 14
England v France - England's confidence is still a bit shaky but with a clear week to work on things will have helped them, whereas France have overcome their poor start and started to find their way against us. This one could could either way but a narrow win for France. 25 - 32
Scotland v Ireland - Leinster A and a few others are quite rightly favourites for this one. If we can produce the same intensity as against France alongside the clinical finishing in the second half against Wales we could be in with a chance, but i think Ireland (they way they have been playing) will be too strong. 21 - 30

Italy………17.- Wales. 23
England 19 - France 24 (I really think it’ll be the other way)
Scotland 21- Ireland 27

I’m really not. We haven’t beaten Ireland since 2017. Most of the time it hasn’t even been particularly close. Yes, we’re at home and we’ve played some good stuff this year, but we haven’t had any answer to the power game that Ireland play for years now. Unless Toony has suddenly come up with one, we’re going to lose.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

I think this game will really test Scottish discipline.Ireland play such a fast paced game that's easy to get caught giving penalties to slow us down, & these can turn into cards.Yr Alban wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 7:10 pmI’m really not.

One of the big improvements for Scotland has been cutting down the stupid stuff, & denying opposition sides easy meters; this game will show if they can keep this up.
I am. We are so much better and way out of a box

I have. Irish arrogance has reached 2019 levels and albeit with changes Italy showed the limitations of their gameplan. They’re ripe to be ambushed and I think Scotland have a better chance of doing it than we do the week after, though I don’t rule that out
