I hope England can put in some decent performances, not expecting huge changes in the first few games, early days for them. Wales will no doubt be of the similar mind, they cannot expect Gatland to throw a switch and win a grand slam just like that. Scotland usually just target beating England and if they do that's their season over, with a world cup round the corner, they have got to forget this "auld enemy" cr@p and concentrate on winning, they have the players to cause an upset. France should go well, but have they got their heads on right, they have the talent. Ireland have not been mentioned yet, but they should go well, but with a fragile and ageing playmaker, can they deliver if he's not there?

I think the "auld enemy cr@p" you mention is from some of the fans. You can't seriously believe the team and management only target beating England can you?

Interesting that the RFU can't sell out the Italy game. Advertising a lot on Talk Sport to try to shift tickets.
