Not too far off my own thinking. The thing is, the Scotland Wales game is round 4; if Scotland win that and burst a Welsh Grand Slam charge, I'd back us to go over there and win. I worry that England first up is a recipe for disaster, especially since they have a largely fit squad to pick from (Farrell pending). We start so poorly, so regularly;suisse wrote:Still can't see a Grand Slam for Ireland or any one. Don't think France will be anything more than tough to break down but they'll probably finish 5th with one win.
Can see Ireland beating England, France, Italy and Scotland but losing to Wales.
Wales beating England, France, Ireland and Italy but losing to Scotland.
England beating France, Scotland and Italy but losing narrowly in Dublin and Cardiff.
Scotland to beat France, Italy and Wales but lose to Ireland and England.
France to only beat Italy.
Leaving 2 teams on 4 wins, 2 on 3 wins and France on 1. Bonus points. Wales to win the championship.
Poor at home in draw v Wales '16, V. Poor in Embra in loss in '17, Bang average in Paris last year and saved by Jonny 10 magic.
England will be well up for this; if we can sneak any type of a win then I'd back us for the championship, if not even another Slam.
