England And Scotland Fight For Rugby Honours On February 23

By DUGAL SMITH

My money goes on England and Scotland on February 23. These two sides --unbeaten so far this season-can shoot away from France, Ireland and Wales in the international table with comfortable wins.

The pattern of the competition already seems clear. At the top there are England and Scotland with two wins (four points); Ireland is next with one win (two points), Wales and France have yet to win a match this season,
