The bookies are expecting Wales to make the most of home advantage in what they predict will be a tight match as the RBS Six Nations kicks off at Cardiff.

William Hill has Wales just ahead at 4/6 against the old enemy for the tournament opener on Friday, February 6.

However, they are expecting England to make a game of it and are offering 6/5 on them pulling off an upset.

They are calling the over tournament in England’s favour, making them 7/4 to lift the trophy in March, followed by Ireland at 15/8 and Wales 7/2. Scotland come in at 25/1 while Italy are a bumper 250/1 for the title.
