6 nations 06-02-14

RUGBY 6 NATIONS

The 6 nation’s starts this week and it is the tournament before the world cup so you cannot be sure who will look at this in what way. Every team has had injuries due to the European Champion’s Cup so we might see a few second string teams


1 IRELAND

Ireland have had a good season both this and last season and we will be able to see the improvements made in the team. But the question do Ireland have a good kicker without Johnny Sexton. Ireland can still rely on captain marvel Paul O Connel to get them out of problems.



2 ENGLAND

England are proving more and more that they have strength in depth and you can be sure will be near the top come the end. With players like Owen Farell and David Wilson out England have a lot of players out?

3 WALES


Wales have got a near full strength team which is a good thing as it means that they will be serious contenders against anyone and this this will be a good year for the Welsh


4 FRANCE


France is a team that can beat anybody on their day but on another day they have serious problems. Another issue with the French is that they are playing club rugby this week while other nations are having a rest. Sebastien Tillous-Bordes, who was ruled out of the clash with an injury as well as  Alexandre Dumoulin,

5 SCOTLAND
If there is a year that Scotland can get higher in the table it should be this one as it is a world cup year. Scotland have got ambitions to win the whole championship this year but I am not sure.Alexender Dickinson is Scotland's only injury concern so anything can happen  


6 ITALY

Italy can show this year that they can pick up surprise wins and this might be a year to do it. Other nations having injury concerns and problems could be an advantage for Italy but anything can happen.
This year in my opinion could be a quite open championship with the World cup coming up at the end of the year four or even three wins could win it. I do think that you need four wins and for five teams that is there ambition. As well as this this will be the perfect time to experiment before the world cup and that might be an important factor also.
