So get our hardest game on the last day of the tournament again......

2019 way better with hard games to start with relative easing off as the tournament progresses.
 
2018 looks like a tall order for Italy to win the Grand Slam with three away fixtures. 2019 also looks like a decent shot at lifting the wooden spoon :(

And you got so close with the 3 home fixtures this year too ;)
 
Is Ireland in London tougher than Paris?

1st games are really going to shape both championships for us.
Whilst there are no easy games, I always fancy England at home.

With the current strength of the respective nations, I would argue that the odd numbered years when we play Ireland and Wales on the road, are tougher than the even years when we play Scotland, France and Italy away.
