Spot on. The whole 'which French side will turn up' guff hasn't been mentioned for a while for a good reason, they're absolutely appalling. Mostly due to their domestic game being flooded by foreign players, it's been a while since they've produced another Yauzion, Dusotoir or Clerc who were/are all world class players. If we don't follow this win up with a win against them, and a win against a severely depleted Irish side, then this 6N will be a failure.
As for England I think they'll beat Wales and then ultimately the grand slam. They've been disciplined and taken opportunities well, which seemingly is enough to win the tournament this year.
