SIX NATIONS 2022 WEEK 2 PREVIEW

Back again so soon after last week's predictions on how each team would fare in Week 1:

Ireland v Wales - is there anything good for Welsh coaches to analyse about a dominant Irish performance?

Scotland v England - how did Scots stay within a score of England and why did the momentum shift in last 20 mins to allow Scots to retain Calcutta Cup?

France v Italy - how can Italy stay competitive for 80 mins and will anyone beat France on the form of the last 30 mins?

Plus the team look forward to Week 2 and the potential Championship decider in Paris:

Wales v Scotland - surely Scots can win in Cardiff for first time in 20 years with their golden generation.

France v Ireland - no Sexton for Irish, and no Danty or Cretin for French, could be very tight and tasty.

Italy v England - if English don't win by 20+ points will Eddie have to go?

Great to have Tim "The Oracle" Bradley back and old suspects in Mark Jones, James McKillop and "Swiss" Tony Harjette but again we mourn the loss of Mark "English" Evans and The Landlord who is still short staffed.
