    After avoiding the Wooden Spoon with an impressive win in the second week, Scotland are hoping that their ability early in the 2013 Six Nations Championship might mean that their inability to beat Ireland at home in the tournament and in general will take a turn for the better after a two week break.

    2013 Six Nations – England vs France Predictions

    Despite the clear difference in ability and result from both sides, it would be quite an uneducated and underestimating guess to consider England should have no problem beating France for a third consecutive time in the Six Nations.

    It’s been quite a while (ten years) since England last managed a Six Nations win at Ireland, but their first visit to the Aviva stadium since August 2011 brings with it a different sense of favorites, and a sign of change in the constant power struggle.
