[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 171132"] Overall i thnk we can all say there is so much change it is going to be hard to predict much. The best prediction i think so far was by Stillknox: no grand slam. Wales have a weak pack but Edwards could sort out their defence a bit and their pack can turn it on occaisionally (see versus England in Cardiff last year). I think every side has a chance in every match this year, something i haven't felt for a long time. Every side has had changes, with Ireland having the least. That may work in their favour as we may be expecting most new sides to have a high error count. The changes may also mean sides are more at risk of a string of poor results, and the first round i thnk will be very important. If Wales win at Twickers i'd expect them to do very well. Last time they beat England on the opening match it was a distinctly average (imo-i know i'm going to get slated for this) performance but the confidence taken from it propelled them to a fantastic grand slam. France and Ireland are also two teams who need confidence. If they struggle in round one then doubts may creep in. [/QUOTE]
