Guscott tips Wales for successive Grand Slams

Wales have been tipped to win the first back-to-back Grand Slams in a century after their thrilling Six Nations win over England in Cardiff. Former England international Jeremy Guscott told the BBC's Scum V that the Welsh side have put on an "awesome" display so far, beating Scotland with some "fantastic" rugby and rising to a tough challenge in Saturday's 23-15 victory. He added that although Martin Johnson's side had missed some chances to take control of the game, Wales "always had that edge". The Welsh side are now favourites in the rugby union betting to take the Six Nations crown, with Ireland in second. In the weekend's other Six Nations action, Ireland demolished Italy 38-9 in Rome, while France battled to a 22-13 victory over a spirited Scotland in Paris. The next round of matches sees a crunch tie as Wales take on France, while Ireland face England and Scotland meet Italy. The games will be played on February 27th and 28th.
