What this weekend has to offer:
Wales v Italy
- Wales have won the last six between the two sides, and the last four in the Six Nations
- Four of the last six have seen Wales win by a margin of over 15 points. A repeat of this is on offer at 4/9 with BetVictor
- Italy have only ever won one of their Six Nations games away from home
- So it is going to be worth looking at the handicap market for your betting options instead here, where a Wales -19 handicap is priced up at 10/11 with bet365. Wales posted a big 26-9 victory over Italy in Rome last season and you imagine that they would be able to improve upon that in Cardiff.
- Wales have averaged 32 points per game against Italy in the 20 meetings between the two, with the Italians having averaged 16.6 points per game against the Welsh. Over 44.5 points is an option on offer at 11/10 with Paddy Power
- Odds on at 8/13 to pick up the wooden spoon and that’s probably fair enough with Italy facing three away matches this year.
France v England
- England have won 6 of the last 7 between the two teams
- England have won 9 of their last 10 games
- England have finished second over the last two championships and will feel like a big opportunity was missed last year after losing the title in the final match in Cardiff
- France have lost 5 of their last 6 games
- England to win with a +4 handicap is tempting, on offer at 10/11 with Paddy Power
Ireland v Scotland
- Ireland have won 4 of their last 5 at home against the Scots
- Scotland have lost 6 of their last 9 internationals
- Three of the last four have been won by 7 points of less
- Ireland with a -12 Handicap may be tempting for punters seeing as the last time these two met, they walked away with a 32-14 victory
- Alex Cuthbert is 13/2 favourite to be the tournament’s top try scorer with team mate George North second in line at 15/2
- England are 9/4 favourites to win the triple crown, whilst no winner is a tempting 2/1
