England are the form team going into this year's competition following 11 undefeated matches and will be determined to get off to a flying start against Wales, who have lurched from crisis to crisis in recent months.
Italy host Scotland in Rome two years on from a famous victory in this contest, while the visitors are under pressure to make a strong start following several years of patchy results.
Of course, nobody can win the Six Nations in the opening round, but you can take a big step towards losing it with a ropey showing.
