I know betting is out for next week already but have resisted looking and here are my calls
Scotland +4.5 v Ireland
Italy +17.5 v Wales
England -10.5 v France
Chris has put this betting update together www.goodforthegame.co.za/Six-Nations-Rug...-betting-update.html and having taken a look I see I am a few points out on the Italy game but pretty close in the others
Not sure what to make of that Ireland performance, looked flat although credit must go to England

I didn’t see them being completely outplayed by the English, (who were very impressive), but in recent years Ireland have been slow starters in the tournament.
2017 they lost narrowly to the Scots at Murrayfield, 27 – 22. The following weekend they were 24 point favourites away in Italy and blew them away 10 - 63.
2018 they were fairly poor in the first game away in Paris, but narrowly snuck over the line with Sexton’s sensational 45 metre drop goal, following 40 odd phases. They then went on to win the Grand Slam.
In my view, in Schmidt they have the best coach in the world. You listen to current and ex players talk about how detailed and technical he is with processes and systems – and that often it takes time for players to learn and adapt.
Schmidt I thought was “out-coached” by Eddie Jones on the weekend – he won’t like this one bit and I can see a massive response from him and his players this weekend.
I know they have some injury concerns (Stander is out, Toner possibly too) but they have superior depth to the Jocks who also have injuries in their pack. (Just heard WP Nel has been ruled out, which is a massive loss for them in my view).
I also like Wales -22 which I’ve had a small play on, will wait for teams before going in for more as the Welsh may rest a few this week.

I see it as a 1-10 point game (hopefully not a draw) so level stakes on Scot to win 1-10 at 3/1 and Ireland to win 1-10 at 5/2 , both currently available at WSB in Alternative Winning Margin Market.
