I don’t have the conviction to argue against that.

Ye of little faith! There’s always room for hope. The time to be despondent will be 7.00 on Saturday evening.

Let’s wait and see.

France 21 - 19 Ireland
Italy 13 - 47 England
Wales 23 - 19 Scotland

France 13 - 11 Ireland
Italy 13 - 26 England
Wales 9 - 16 Scotland

Drink deep from this well of optimism, O my brothers, that would have us win the first two matches, and finish third:

I have less optimism, although yeah, if the stars all aligned it could just happen.

My guess for this week is:

France 31 - 24 Ireland
Italy 17 - 35 England
Wales 18 - 28 Scotland

My guess:

France 26 - 22 Ireland
Italy 22 - 37 England
Wales 24 - 23 Scotland

Well that's a bad start for pretty much everyone; although we should be reminding all our Irish friends that of course, wins against 14 men don't count in the Six Nations...

Suddenly a bit more confident. It’s very unusual for three away wins in the six nations. And the u20s won tonight.

I’ll be looking for omens in the tea leaves next but the irrational welsh optimism bias is kicking in.

The wet weather has made me lose confidence . . .

I think that looks eminently achievable as a forecast given the form of the teams so far.

Here's my stab at it:

Ireland 42 16 Wales
Scotland 28 23 England
France 34 22 Italy

Hope I'm wrong but Gatland's selections have lowered my expectations.

Italy 23 - 31 Scotland
England 18 - 28 Ireland
Wales 15 - 29 France
