Predicting the Winner
Ireland are in-form, the reigning champions and ranked third in the world. A trip to Wales will ultimately decided the contest, but captain Paul O'Connell believes the team has the right man at the helm to do the job.
"Joe [Schmidt] is an excellent coach and an excellent strategist," O'Connell said (via beIN Sports). "He is a brilliant communicator too. We are all trying to do the same things on the rugby field, but Joe is able to simplify it and able to get players into the right places on the field where they can use their skillset."
"It is brilliant working with him," he added. "Every meeting and every training session we learn something new and you could almost be jealous that Leinster had him for so long. The Irish set-up under Joe has been incredible, and I want to experience as much of that as I can."
Predicting the Finish: Ireland, Wales, England, France, Scotland, Italy.
