Can the Irish stop them in Dublin next week? It's certainly possible but the Irish look like an ageing team that's fast running out of ideas and confidence.
Scotland, I'm afraid, could be annihilated tomorrow.

Just hoping Scottish guts and pride will help a bit.

Don't see England losing any of last two.

Doesn't anyone just have a sneaky feeling that the Scotts could spring a HUGE surprise at Twickenham tomorrow?? English are either over-confident or doom and gloom.  What price for a 4 point win for Scotland??

Hopefully our celtic cousins will do a job on the saes tomorrow, with Lamont scoring the winning try in the final 2 minutes. Otherwise we'll be relying on the spudpickers next weekWink

Because there's one thing the Italians can normally match sides with is the set piece. This England side look usefull and I already feel they have a number of players who can make decisions on the field and not have to wait till they get told by the coaches. They have players fighting for possession of the shirt which gives them options everywhere except in their centre combinations.

On paper yes. When it comes to one off games any team is beatable on the day.

I agree with the comments,you never know in a game,England should win comfortably on current form,but you never know,that's why we watch it.
Predicting a comfortable win,just hope I'm right,got the Italy one wrong and the Wales one right yesterday.
As for Ireland,well they probably won't be as bad at home will they and they , like oour other celtic cousins all love to put one over the English(what does saes mean exactly?)

English.

From Saesneg in the Welsh language.

Which is probably derived from "Saxon"

I guess Saeson is an English person and Saesneg is the langauge??

I'm not fluent so I dunno.

A lot of media seem to be drawing comparisons today with the 1990 game at Murrayfield. That's way off the mark.

In 1990, both teams were going for the slam and Scotland had a decent team with the likes of the Hastings brothers, Gary Armstrong, John Jeffery, Finlay Calder and Derek White. In 2011, England are chasing the slam with an ever-improving side and Scotland are rubbish. The plight of Scottish rugby is a sad aspect of the modern game. Even the once mighty Murrayfield is now devoid of any passion and atmosphere.
 
I know any side has a chance on a given day but 99.9 per cent of my instinct tells me England will win by 20 or more. It could get very messy if England put a few tries on the board early doors.
 
But I hope I'm wrong.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, I'll never understand. A world of knowledge at your fingertips, and you play poker all night.
