Throughout the RBS Six Nations Championship users of the Scrum V message boards will be contributing their unique observations about the tournament. I expect Ireland to achieve a Grand Slam and Triple Crown.
I can see France, England and Wales tying for second place with three victories each followed by Scotland with one victory, and Wooden Spoonists Italy.

I still think that in terms of match scores, it will be one of the tightest competitions in years, with, more than ever, the team wanting it the most winning. I think France's confidence will take a lot of restoring after that New Zealand hammering.
This will be the most significant factor in the competition in the early stages.
England are still rebuilding while Scotland have to be low on self-belief.
Italy will play well, but be outgunned overall.
I expect Wales, with Ireland, to turn in the most consistent performances.
