Easy Win for Les Bleus

France welcome Wales to the Stade de France in the opening game on Friday night. Fabien Galthie’s side are one of the favourites and will be looking to get off to a flying start in front of their own fans.

France are expected to have another strong Six Nations tournament, while Wales have been tipped to struggle again. The Welsh lost all five games in last season’s competition, whereas France finished runners-up to Ireland.

Les Bleus are formidable at home, and Galthie’s boys should be too strong for struggling Wales on Friday. Back the hosts to win -29.5 at 2.01.

Scots to Start with a Bang

Scotland and Italy meet at Murrayfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Italians have shown a vast improvement in recent years, but the Scots are the heavy favourites to get the victory on home soil.

These two nations have so often battled to avoid bottom spot, but things have changed. Scotland finished fourth, while the Italians took fifth spot last year. Both teams are gunning for a strong 2025.

The Italians beat the Scots in Rome last year, but Gregor Townsend’s troops should get revenge in Edinburgh. There is good value in 1.70 for the home side to win -16.5.

Holders to Pick Up Dominant Win

The standout match from the opening round is Sunday’s Aviva Stadium showdown between old rivals Ireland and England. The holders are the team to beat again, but can the English cause an upset in the Irish capital?

Ireland have won the last two Six Nations Championships, though they missed out on another Grand Slam in 2024 after narrowly losing to England in the final game. Can the Irish win five out of five this time?

England are still in transition, while Ireland are settled and look ready to defend their crown. Simon Easterby’s boys are priced at 1.63 to be winning at half time and full time.
