English Clubs Performance in Europe.

Looking at the country-wide head to heads (in order of 6Ns matches).

England v Scotland
P4; W1; D0; L3

Clear advantage to Scotland.


England v Italy (Amlin NOT included)
P4; W4; D0; L0

Clear Advantage to England


England v Wales
P8; W5; D0; L3

Advantage England


England v France
P32; W15; D0; L17

Advantage France


England v Ireland
P10; W4; D0; L6

Advantage Ireland


The head to head with Ireland is misleading as 2 English clubs were paired with the weakest Irish province. If these results translate in to 6N form, then we could be in for a torrid time.

Looking at the other "home" countries.

Ireland beat Wales 2-0
Ireland beat Italy 2-0
Ireland beat Scotland 2-0
Ireland beat France 5-3


Wales beat Italy 1.5-0.5
Wales beat France 6-2
Wales drew with Scotland 1-1

Scotland beat France 3-1 (did not play Italy)


So as a 6Ns table that gives us:

Ireland 10pts
Scotland 5pts (from 4 ties)
Wales 5pts
England 4pts
France 4pts
Italy 0pts (from 4 ties)
