France ahead of England in Six Nations betting

France remain the favourites for this year’s Six Nations at 5/4 with SkyBet but Martin Johnson’s England have closed the gap on their rivals and are now a best placed 3/1 to win the tournament.
 
If you think England can win the Grand Slam this year why not back them at 7/1 at Paddy Power, although perhaps France at 3/1 remain a safer option.
 
England’s 30-17 win against Wales at Twickenham on Saturday has seen them receive a flurry of best but Ireland remain the second favourites albeit despite their unconvincing win over Italy at the weekend.
 
Brian O’Driscoll’s men are rated at 5/2 with Bet365 and you can back them to retain the Grand Slam at 11/2.
 
At the other end of the scale Scotland are 100/1 to win the Six Nations while Italy are down at 1000/1 with Stan James.
