Six Nations Round Four Lineups. Can England win again and get a hand on the title? Do Wales still have a chance?
The loser of the Wales vs Ireland game is out of contention, unless England stumble against Scotland in their Calcutta Cup game which is unlikely. The French play their continential neighbours Italy.
My picks are
Wales 12-
England 13+
France 13+
Warren Gatland has named his side to take on Ireland at the Millennium Stadium this weekend, with James Hook returning to fly-half.
Wales team:
L Byrne (Ospreys);
