The Six Nations - Review So Far

We've had only the one weekend of the 2012 Six Nations, but already plenty of action and drama to get us talking. Here TacticalBet looks to offer a review of what happened, the odds on the tournament as they stand, along with a brief look on what's coming up soon.

France 30-12 Italy

Ireland 21-23 Wales

Scotland 6-13 England

France were the only home side to claim victory, seeing off an ever improving Italy side who battled hard. The other games ended in away wins, for England and the Wales, the latter clinching a dramatic 2 point win over Ireland with a 79th minute penalty, controversially awarded.

Odds To Win -

France 2.64

Wales 2.78

England 6

Ireland 12

Scotland 85

Italy 330

Grand Slam Odds -

Wales 3.64

This weekend sees England travel to Italy, and France hosting Ireland on the Saturday, with Sunday's game in Cardiff between Wales and Scotland. Our tip? France to win the tournament outright, yet with no Grand Slam winner. The top teams looks so evenly matched there is sure to be some shocks along the way, and any team claiming 5 wins will have to play exceptionally well indeed.
