[QUOTE="corny, post: 779580, member: 72368"] Forecasting how Ireland are going to perform is a tough one. There was a huge hangover from the WC evident with the provinces early season. Thats slowly getting better but will it be enough? If Ireland beat Wales first up they've a decent chance of making it three in a row. A lot will depend on Schmidt making changes to the gameplan and integrating new players. They're in serious danger of becoming stale. The likes of McCloskey, McGrath and Moore have to be first choice. It wouldn't hurt to give Stander, VDF, Payne (at fullback) a chance either. Wales are an obvious threat to all. If they survive in the set piece against England and France i can see them winning both games. There'll be little in it against Ireland. Always is. The form of the English club sides will mean little. It'll take Jones time to find his best team and get his message across. Against settled sides like Wales and Ireland they might come a cropper. I hope France are liberated by the fact they actually have a coach now. For so long they've been let down by muppets in charge. Even if they do play with a coherent gameplan they'll find it hard without Dusatoir and a decent 10 though. Scotland will beat Italy but lose to everyone else. The likely order of things as i see it: (its tentative though) Ireland Wales England France Scotland Italy [/QUOTE]
