ROUND 1



The wait is over, the winter is beginning to clear and spring is in the air, this means only one thing, ITS SIX NATIONS TIME. Today sees the start of the 2015 RBS Six Nations and we at RugbyPlus promise to keep you updated with our predictions and round up to the one of the most anticipated tournaments in the Rugby calendar.

 The opening game is always a spectacle as both teams lay out their stall for the tournament. No two bigger titans could be better suited to the occasion than Wales and England. The odds are definitely in favour of Wales, the high injury count to England and the unbeatable home support will spur the boys on. Yes the roof is to remain open but the singing will just have to be even louder then.                   Our Prediction: WALES WIN.

A trip to Rome is not as easy as it used to be, in the past the Italians have been a nuisance to many of the big teams, mainly France. Could the Italians upset the favourites this year? Its unlikely. Their recent form and the underwhelming performances of the teams in the pro12 does not fill us with hope for the Italians, but hopefully we will see some colourful rugby at least.                                              Our Prediction: IRELAND WIN.

France can be a slow starter to the six nations, often finding first games to be messy and uncontrolled. This may play well to Scotland, who enter the tournament this year after a fantastic run of form in the Autumn Internationals. If Scotland can replicate against France the performances they put in against Argentina and New Zealand then we see no reason that Scotland cant take the French scalp in their own back yard.                                                                                 Our Prediction: SCOTLAND WIN.
