Ireland -32.5 v Italy - Ireland will be looking for a big win but despite the big loss to England I was actually quite impressed with Italy.
England -11.5 v Wales - I am thinking this could be a close game, possibly England 1-12
Scotland -5.5 v France - tough one, from what I saw last week France not without a chance here
The Kings and Cheetahs are both in Pro 14 action this weekend.

I think England could smash Wales. Don't fooled by the score against Scotland. They're not nearly as good as that.
Finally I'm going to go with Scotland to beat France by more than 5.

I reckon Chiefs are worth a shot outright. Arguably a stronger squad than last year whilst most other teams are sending weaker squads. Saders/Canes much weaker, Highlanders decent forwards but not too much in the backline, Blues actually look ok but hard to take them seriously with 42 year old Carlos Spencer as their only 10. Aus teams look a joke. Pau and Panasonic actually decent longshots, Panasonic did really well last year and Pau have a lot of stars.
Chiefs to me clearly have the most dangerous backline though.
TTT/McKenzie(Marty)/Ngatai/TNW/Pulu/Stevenson/Alaimalo to choose from. Brought a strong group of loose forwards too, front row nothing special but no weaker than last year.

I def fancy another good showing from France , they have a very good record against Scotland besides last year. If there are not too many injuries and not too many changes I fancy them to go very close if not win. That would mean Scotland would be gone and all expectations gone up in smoke. I expect Scotland to come out smoking but feel France could squeeze the life outa them.
Pro 14 and Aviva looks harder and team selections so important , hoping we can get the value once they're announced and before the books change their prices accordingly.

I see the lrish line has drifted out to -34 or -35 now.
Reminds me of similar scenario this time last year, when they lost to Scotland in the first game up.
They then destroyed the Italians in Rome the following weekend 10 - 63.
This time round they are at home.
I see the weather forecast doesn't look too flash, which given their lacklustre attack last week in the wet is perhaps a mild concern.
Have had a decent strike at the Wales plus also. Yes, completely different class of opposition from last week, but their recent record in Twickenham isn't too bad. Would be a surprise if they won (although I have had a small stab at Wales 1-12 @ 6) but fully expecting the game to be close.

Possible Ireland team v Italy: R Kearney; K Earls, R Henshaw, B Aki, J Stockdale; J Sexton, C Murray; J McGrath, R Best (capt), T Furlong; I Henderson, D Toner; P O'Mahony, D Leavy, J Conan. Replacements: S Cronin/R Herring, C Healy, A Porter, Q Roux, CJ Stander, K Marmion, J Carbery, J Larmour.
I genuinely think that the handicap is too high considering it is meant to be wet. There are 4 changes made in the pack. If it's drifted to +34 or 35 then I'd happily take that punt.
I'd also take Italy +15 upwards 1st half if i could get that. Apparently they conceded 50% of all 6 nations points scored in the competition in their second halves last year.

You are 100% right Ruan, it does not look like it, it looks race over, they might as well pay me out at HTRuan Fourie wrote: You can get Italy over 0.5 points at 1.727 at Sportingbet at the moment. The problem is it really doesn't look like they are going to score any points.
Absolutely never, ever worry about the stuff you cannot control!!

Looks like it will be wet, at very least slipper surface. But at 13.5 Wales shirts just too low for me, i'm sucked in.
High Wales shirts @ 13.5

Based on recent history the u42.5 looks good in Scotland v France but will get an accurate view of conditions before getting involved.
