Latest Six Nations Betting

The best was saved until last, as the Six Nations dished up its first three-course meal. France were predictable winners in the opening contest, but Italy showed enough to suggest they won’t be the whipping boys this season. Les Blues remain unchanged at 6/4 favourites with Sportingbet.

The Calcutta Cup match introduced new faces but the older rivalry failed to thrill. In an error-strewn game, the result became everything. England were delighted with the victory but Scotland see it as another opportunity lost. The bookmakers took a dim view of the contest lengthening both teams for the championship. England are out to 5/1 (Sportingbet), half a point more than a week ago.

Wales escaped from the Aviva stadium with a victory that barely seemed possible with four minutes to go. Ireland’s revenge mission went unfulfilled, leaving Wales strong contenders for the title. Warren Gatland’s men are 7/4 (Betfred) to win the Six Nations having been 7/2 at the start of the weekend. A Triple Crown is very much on the cards at 5/4 with Betfred.
