France v Wales in Cardiff (6 Nations)
This is the big game this weekend. Wales only need to win or draw to clinch the 6 Nations Championship. A win would also give them the Grand Slam. Only England stands in their way if they lose to France.
France by 4
Ireland v England at Twickenham (6 Nations)
For England to have a chance of winning the Championship they must win this game and win it well.
England by 10

This is the match for the wooden spoon.

Russia v Georgia in Tiblisi (ENC 1A)
Both teams not fielding their strongest lineups for this years ENC 1A. These two teams are playing on a non neutral ground since their war a few years ago. I expect the Russians to get a ‘warm’ reception. But isn’t it great that sport can traverse political differences?
Georgia by 24
Romania v Spain in Madrid (ENC 1A)
Romanians may find the Spanish a handful at home. Despite their loss last weekend to Portugal, Spain is a team improving.
Spain by 8
Portugal v Ukraine in Odessa (ENC 1A)
More than likely a one-side affair. Ukraine destined for relegation to Division 1B

Belgium v Germany in Heusenstamm (ENC 1B)
Germany showed some improvement in their play when they defeated Czech Republic last weekend. I still expect Belgium to win and move to ENC 1A next season.

Switzerland to win easily. They are a team on the move.
