Due to one thing or another I seemed to miss the first half of all the games. I, like others I am guessing, presumed the Ireland were the ones to beat. Watching the Ireland game, I think that their chances are still high of winning sex nations (and maybe the grand slam too.) England were the surprise for me though, going on past performance, I expected a worse game. Whether the worse was loosing, dropping passes, loosing line outs etc but I was surprised. The game had its faults but I am hopeful that we can at least have a chance this year.
After the first games, I would say the order of favourites to win are – Ireland, England, Wales, Italy, France, Scotland.
