Abstract

AFTER England's poor performance against Italy, I feared that France would thrash them by 15 or 20 points, but since then I've changed my mind. I just have a hunch that Phil Vickery and his team will win. It's going to be mighty close, though. If this was a game of poker and you gave me £5 for a bet, I would go for a 'gutshot flush draw on the river!' To put it in layman's terms, my instincts tell me that England are going to snatch a two-point victory. They have such a powerful pack that there is every chance they will dominate the French up front, which would lay the platform for an upset. Having said that, if France's forwards scrummage well, England will be doing well to hold them. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
