Italy to beat the handicap is usually Genie’s old reliable bet but this week we are going to steer away from that as they run into Brian O’Driscoll and a rampant Ireland team in Dublin.
England vs Wales
For that reason we are going to look at the match in Twickenham between England and Wales. England have not performed well in the Martin Johnson era and I expect no difference this weekend. The English pack is still formidable but is seemingly in terminal decline. At the back the ever dangerous Armitage poses a threat but otherwise there is not much to give Warren Gatland any sleepless nights.
The Welsh backs may be aging but this could be the year that they roll back the clock and rediscover the magic of a couple of years ago. They will be keen to get off on a good foot A lot of questions have been asked of their star man Shane Williams and this could be his year or redemption. For that reason I am making the following Tips:
