Who will win the RBS Six Nations Championship?

England's stunning victory over France in Paris has left this year's championship wide open. Wales, with a perfect record so far, must be odds-on for the title. But they must still play France and Ireland, neither of which are foregone conclusions. Ireland are currently second in the table, on the same points as France and England.

So who will win? Vote now.

Wales lack the discipline to go all the way. Their first half performances against England, Scotland and Italy have been poor. Their wins are due to their opponents inability to capitalise and score points. Ireland and France will not be so forgiving ... France are just waiting to kick in .. they will win the Championship.

The french public demand that France do not lose again( when have they lost 2 matches in the same season?), therefore they will beat Wales.Also Ireland is a growing force and will beat Wales narrowly in Dublin.It will all come down to the last match when england play Ireland at Twickenham.

Wales to win the Grand Slam. Two close wins in Dublin and Cardiff, but the team has enough to win both, plus Ireland and France are too inconsistent.

Ireland to beat Wales at home, and narrowly beat England on the final day at Twickers to just win on points difference

Stephen Jones comment that who cares about England's poor back play is significant in the win at all costs mentality. I for one would like to see the England talent behind actually run the ball, maybe Vainikolo coming on a run outside/ inside Wilkinson. Why does Jones think the only way England can win is by 10 man rugby. I think England need to expand their game and once and for all ditch this boring approach. You can still win and play attractive rugby.
