some of
my six nations betting principles
go with italy at home with the handicap at h.t.
go against england on the handicap as they are overated
go with the form sides
go with the new coach
i've been gloating all week about our win against a poor second half England but today i'm going against all my principles and having a bet on
England -6 h.t. @ 1.91
stan james.
my reasoning
I like the look of England's back row , I was impressed with Flood in attack last week, Italy were lucky not to be well behind last week when the rusty Irish missed a few early chances. Wilkinson should kick for territory ,Borthwick and Shaw should disrupt their lineout and the scores should come [ hopefully two early tries]
