February 25 - Wales will tackle France on the road on Friday 27 February in a mouthwatering Six Nations rugby betting opportunity. If they secure a win, the Walsh team will need two more wins to accomplish the first back-to-back Grand Slam since 1909.
However, France coach Marc Lievremont, isn't happy about the new time slot. He has concerns that playing on Friday night would put his team at a disadvantage, as they would have played the French championship games the weekend before, and it would force him to change his regular training program and leave him with restricted options for the team selection.
After last week's match against Ireland, it's predicted that Italy is more determined than ever to clinch this weekend's game against Scotland on Saturday. And since they've beaten Scotland in their last two Six Nations games, this seems a likely outcome, with the hopes of making it a hat-trick for the Italian team.
Italy's self-confidence has motivated Scotland, encouraging them to perform to their maximum ability, to ensure that they don't succumb to yet another crushing defeat.
But with both teams starting this year's Six Nations with two defeats each, it's anyone's game as to who will be receiving the Wooden Spoon award.
Luck of the Irish may need to be called upon, for the match between Ireland and England on Saturday afternoon.
Even though Ireland beat France and Italy in their respective opening matches, they need to beat England in order to keep hope alive for their first championship and Grand Slam since 1985.
Ireland won't allow this match to be a walk in the park, and is confident that their forward line is a formidable force, that will give England a run for their money.
