Fletch went 1 for 2 on the rugby this weekend, after identifying a potential Scotland resurgence, but siding with Ireland's value. Meanwhile the call on England was spot on as France sealed the deal after an even contest by 6 points. Scotland v Ireland, Saturday 1.30pm

Two things strike me here - especially about Scotland. For the first time in three years they have Chris Paterson at fly-half. He is an excellent kicker at goal, and for some time many have felt he should be playing 10 and trying to control the game.

Then there is the backrow: Jason White, Simon Taylor and Alastair Hogg will be formidable.
