Can't see Ireland winning by many at Murrayfield. All too close to call in reality though. Was in Cardiff for the game last weekend, what a physical encounter. I'll just leave this here of Ireland's golden boy.

I agree with the Ireland v Scotland remark about it being a tight game, except I predict Scotland might spring an upset.

Wales should beat Italy quite easily and I'd hope England will beat France.

Seems to be a lot of talk about whether or not the RWC 2015 would be a commercial disaster if England didn't progress from the group stages. I find it quite extraordinary that there appears to be all this negative talk. Would like to hope England will go all the way but it's tough to look past New Zealand or South Africa. I'd probs put England there in the top 5 picks along with Australia and Ireland.

I think France and Wales will have a poor World Cup.
