England v Ireland

It was a popular pre-tournament tip to be this season's RBS 6 Nations title decider - but England and Ireland are playing only for pride at Twickenham on Saturday.

Both teams have give it their all during the past six weeks to such an extent that pressure is on England head coach Brian Ashton and also Ireland head coach Eddie O'Sullivan.

England's poor Calcutta Cup display against Scotland in Edinburgh last weekend destroyed any lingering hope that Ashton's men had of landing a first RBS 6 Nations crown since 2003.

Ireland, meanwhile, have paid the price for losses to France and Wales, which ended any chance of them recovering from a World Cup nightmare by securing RBS 6 Nations silverware.

Despite England’s Murrayfield display, Ashton has made just a solitary change, although it is a seismic switch in English rugby terms with Wasps youngster Danny Cipriani replacing fly-half icon Jonny Wilkinson.

Wilkinson has paid the price for what Ashton believes has been an "inconsistent" tournament by the Newcastle star's high standards, and he reverts to bench duty.

His 14 Murrayfield colleagues remain though, which amounts to a surprising vote of confidence from Ashton, who clearly believes they will produce an improved performance.

Ireland will be without injured skipper Brian O'Driscoll - Andrew Trimble and Shane Horgan forge an untried midfield partnership while fly-half Ronan O'Gara, arguably the biggest single threat to England, takes over as captain.

And so low is English confidence that Ireland will fancy their chances of completing a third successive Twickenham win, something they last achieved between 1972 and 1976.

If Wales beat France in their final game they will win the Grand Slam for the second time in four seasons.
France needs to beat Wales by 20 points or more in Cardiff to win the 2008 championship.
If France were to win by 19 points them the two teams would be level on point?s difference. The team with the most tries would be the winners, at the moment the two are level at 11 tries each.

Wooden Spoon for the Scots Again?

If Italy Beat Scotland by 5 points on Saturday then they will end up with the wooden spoon for the second time in a row.” In my opinion I think Scotland wont get the wooden spoon for the second time because by the look of Italys latest performances I think Scotland will come out on top”

Who Will Win the Grand Slam This Year?

If Wales Beat France In Their last game them Wales will win the Grand Slam for the second time in four seasons “I think that Wales from their recent performances that they are doing very well and for winning ever match so far is even better” And im sure the welsh fans would like to see them win the Grand Slam as well.
