Byline: Ian Carbis
THERE'S only one show in town today as the waiting finally ends and the Six Nations kicks off.
For Wales, though, it might not be a happy return as they go to Twickenham with plenty of questions to answer.
Still, at the start of the week, the bookies were marking the clash too close to call, but injuries to Matthew Rees and Gethin Jenkins changed that.
Martin Johnson's men are now 8-15 with Bet365, while Wales have drifted out to 6-4 and 18-1 the draw.
Coach Warren Gatland bemoaned the Welsh publicS 's negativity earlier in the week, but it's hard to be optimistic after the front-row setbacks and the problems at scrum-half.
Burberry ReplicaIn view of that, as much as the heart would like to be the other way, the head says an England win.
IWC ReplicaA 1-12 point victory at 6-4 with Bet365 looks appealing, though with Jonny Wilkinson and Toby Flood in the home side, and as painful as it may be, it could be worth chancing 11-15 at 6-1. But after his struggle to actually play in the game, Lee Byrne is 16-1 to be first or last try scorer, though there's been a lot of support around for England's full-back Delon Armitage.
THE competition opener sees Ireland host Italy and the Irish are virtually unbackable at 1-100, so it's safer to look at Tommy Bowe for the game's first try.
A really interesting bet is any Italian player, not named, to score the opening touchdown, which is 8-1 with Bet365.
Tomorrow, sees France head to Murrayfield and, having plumped for the French to win the Championship last week, they have had some injuries and we're worried.
So we might have a little saver on Scotland to win tomorrow at 12-5. England v Wales prices (with Bet 365): England 8-15, Wales 6-4, draw Coach Fake Handbags 18-1.
