Six Nations 2021 table predicted by Sir Ian McGeechan

It all starts in Rome on Saturday with Italy hosting France, before attention switches to Twickenham where England face Scotland for the Calcutta Cup. Then on Sunday it's Wayne Pivac's Wales up against Andy Farrell's Ireland in Cardiff. 

Here's how McGeechan has predicted the table will look when all is said and done.

McGeechan said: "I’ve gone with Scotland in third place on the basis they also have three home games, including both Ireland and Wales."

McGeechan said: "The 3:2 home:away ratio is arguably less critical this year than it usually is. But home advantage should still make a difference. England have three home games, including France, which is the key one."
