The Six Nations Championship is an annual international men’s rugby union competition between the teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. The current champions are England, who won the 2020 tournament.
Predictions:
England vs Italy, 2.15pm
Pick: England -36.0 @1/1
Eddie Jones has returned to a familiar strategy as England welcome Italy to Twickenham on Saturday, with Owen Farrell moving to inside centre and George Ford slotting in at fly-half.
In the 21 years Italy have been part of the Six Nations, England are the one team they have yet to record even a solitary win against and few are giving them any chance of doing so on Saturday.
This is a new-look Italy team under Franco Smith though, with the South African having his eyes very much on the future as he starts bringing through some of the players who have helped Italy record wins over Wales and Scotland at U20 level in recent years.
Scotland vs Wales, 4.45pm
Pick: Total Points over 46.5 @2/1
Confidence and momentum are two priceless commodities in top-level sport, and Scotland should have both in abundance after ending 38 years of hurt at Twickenham by beating England and reclaiming the Calcutta Cup.
Townsend is confident Scotland can improve on their performance against England despite losing Cameron Redpath to a neck injury.
Wales arrive at Murrayfield without a quarter of Pivac’s original 36-man Six Nations squad, as eight players are sidelined by injuries and wing Josh Adams is suspended.
Three of the absentees – George North, Johnny Williams and Jonathan Davies – are in midfield, while Pivac has also lost a trio of back-row forwards.
