France is the favorite to win, for 2010 Six Nations, which seems a bit strange when one considers the 2009 Grand Slam winner, Ireland, unbeaten until 2009, shows the process, they are the best in the world and beat them seem to have gone.

Flourished under coach Declan Kidney, Ireland has become an outstanding outfit, with a world class player and make a game that embodies a commitment to rugby. In addition, indicate the fact that its two sides are fundamentally Club, Leinster and Munster playing at the top of their game now means that the player coming to Ireland, Six Nations in top form.

Ireland certainly ended 2009 as the best side in the northern hemisphere, and is currently in fourth place in the world after South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. One should also remember that they have not tasted defeat since November 2008 when they lost at home in New Zealand.

Many argue that this will be the best team of players that Sweden will ever have to balance them all and offers some of the best backs in rugby anywhere. With the emergence of players Jonathan Sexton at fly-half, they seem to have a solid future.

If there is doubt about the allegations of Ireland's Six Nations for a second consecutive year, it lies in the fact that their two away matches against France 13 England 27 February and winners for February Away record against those two sides, is not very large and kidneys know he will win at least one of them if they win the championship, will be.

Most non-partisan support rugby fans in all cases would be a repetition Ireland Six Nations success, mainly because it would serve as a good proof of the best players in Ireland, Brian O'Driscoll. Cruelly deprived of participation in the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand in 2005, after an unprecedented battle against Kiwi skipper Tana Umaga and Keven Mealamu, the Irish captain back on the stage and became law, the Six Nations player of the series last season. The biggest disappointment, but, for him and rugby fans was a terrible decision that he was captain of the last British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa for the benefit of the Irish team-mate Paul O'Connell. For this reason alone, and O'Driscoll is Ireland's Six Nations triumph, the perfect tonic and a good start to the new year.
