So this is it… one last weekend and
possibly the most exciting Super Saturday we have seen in years. Four teams can
still win, only three with a decent chance, France need nothing short of a
miracle to lift the title. So here it is, three massively important games… our
final predictions with one twist, score predictions to match.
Italy have struggled throughout this six
nations, with a massive loss last week to the might of France, can they show
one last burst in this game from Italy? We don't see it happening. Wales have
been superior throughout this tournament, toppling the Irish giants last
weekend. Wales need this win, and need it to be massive to stand any chance but
they definitely have a chance.
Scotland does not deserve the wooden spoon
this year, but unfortunately it looks like they will lift it (metaphorically at
least). Ireland hopefully have learnt their lesson from last week and will be
more clinical at the breakdown. Can they do what no one else has, and put a lot
of points past Scotland? We see this being a tough slog but Ireland might just
get what they need.
So it all comes down to a game involving
France, flashback to last year. Can the French upset the English and deny them
what they desperately want? France played with passion last week but could not
keep the error count down, England have shown bursts of skill but have been vulnerable
and conceded tries against Ireland, Italy and Scotland.
We predict: France Win (19-17)
So with those predictions we must say that we
see Ireland as the winners of this years 6 Nations. They have shown consistently
their superiority and depth in their squad, setting them up perfectly for their
run into the World Cup (maybe a wee victory there too).
To all who have followed our results, knowing
we have been right and been wrong, we say thank you for sticking with us. This
year wasn't Scotland’s year but the Webb Ellis Cup lasts a lot longer than the
6 Nations Trophy.
