Wales v France; England v Ireland
Wales, the current champions and Triple Crown holders, are faced with team rebuilding under new coach JOHN LLOYD ;
France must become the first side in the competition to win at Cardiff since they themselves won there in 1968; England must overcome their poor record at Twickenham against the Irish and produce the spirit that gave them victory -against France last season; Ireland, the dark horse in this year's championship after their successful tour of Australia, have to establish a winning formula in this championship.
