The Six Nations finishes this weekend when England play Wales. Who are you picking this weekend?
The RBS Six Nations Round 5 is here and as fate would have it, the top two teams Wales and England are playing each other in a virtual final. Wales must win by eight points to win the title, assuming England don't score more than three tries more than them. It is a great climax to what has been an interesting Six Nations 2013 season. France and Ireland have been disappointing, while Scotland and Italy have been surprisingly competitive. It is difficult to know how this competition compares to the Rugby Championship, but given how close most of the matches are then it has been entertaining.
I am picking England to win the Six Nations by defeating Wales in the final game. Wales were slow out of the blocks this season, but are finishing strongly. This match could be a blood bath!
The other four teams have made some changes since they are out of contention.
