Nothing much to happen now apart from the small matter of 15 full-blooded rugby matches in the oldest and most successful rugby tournament in the world.

What do you all have planned between now and 21 March?

Phil Vickery, Dafydd James and Adam Jones all predict a Wales win tomorrow. In fact, Mr. James is so confident that he gives us a specific score: 18-12 to Wales.

But he thinks Ireland will take the Six Nations title, and so does Phil Vickery.

Asked who will win the championship, Adam Jones replies: "Italy!"

Is it fair that Wales are criticised for playing such a structured game?

I get frustrated looking in to Wales from the outside. I know what Warren Gatland is like, I know what Shaun Edwards is like and I know what Rob Howley is like. It's because of what they are like that people in Wales are able to say "come on , we've got a chance here."

Former Wales and British and Irish Lions prop

Last year England were good, they were clever with what they did. They added a bit of variety to their game, which we haven't seen before. I want people like George North to step up for Wales, I want Leigh Halfpenny to step up.

It's getting quite emotional at the Mochyn Du as Phil Vickery delivers a moving speech about tomorrow's match between Wales and England.

"Rugby has to mean something," the former England and Wasps prop says, looking intently towards presenter Rick O'Shea.

"What's going to make me beat you? The top two inches," Vickery adds, pointing to his head.

Wales must be glad Vickery has retired. The former Celebrity Masterchef winner seems fired up.

Former Wales and Lions wing

On home advantage...

It's about the top three inches. It's just a piece of grass just in a different place. The England game has always been the World Cup final for Wales - you know, as long as we beat the English. But it's special.

Phil Vickery
Former England prop forward

I love a scrummage and to talk about it, but I don't want it to dominate the game. I want to see the ball moved to the backs, but believe me it will be won and lost up front and I think the reason Wales have the edge is Leigh Halfpenny kicking those scrum penalties.

Which team has the edge going into tomorrow night's game?

Olly Myers tweets: "England v Wales is going to be one of the highlight games of the Six Nations. I think a lot of people will be watching. #ScrumV"

Andrew Priestley weighs in: "Wales have big-game experience in their XV for tomorrow night, they will not be overawed. The same can't be said for England. #ScrumV"

Gwinnie Jones is not the only one to have noticed that both sides' hookers have problems with discipline on occasion: "Exciting contest ahead re Hibbard & Hartley tomorrow according to #scrumv pundits.

After Gatland's comment that George North had not "played that well in the Welsh jersey in the last few games"

I disagree with Warren Gatland over George North. He has been exceptional for Northampton and I think there's a lot of kidology to bring out the best of him tomorrow. I hope he will rise to it.

The World Cup match may not have a direct bearing on Friday's game, but it adds a beautiful extra layer to an intriguing story line.

Like a well-rehearsed line-out routine, it's out with the Five Live panel and in with the Radio Wales crew for the last half-hour of this Six Nations preview.

Dawson, Jones and Stringer have made way but Vickery remains and he's joined by presenter Rick O'Shea and former Wales and Lions wing Dafydd James.

Ryan Jones
Former Wales captain

I'd like to see both England and Wales get out of the World Cup and progress at the expense of Australia. But this result will have no effect.

Dafydd James
Former Wales and Lions wing

I would have picked Liam Williams instead of Alex Cuthbert for Wales.

I'd have Liam at full-back, and Leigh Halfpenny and George North on the wings.

What do you think? Would you have picked Liam Williams or Alex Cuthbert if you were Wales coach Warren Gatland?

Peter Stringer
Former Ireland scrum-half

Will the result tomorrow have any effect on the game between England and Wales in the World Cup in September.

I don't think so, it's a new competition. Both teams will want to win this game for the progression of the team, so in the grand scheme of things, I don't think so.

Former Wales captain

On the clash between hookers Dylan Hartley and Richard Hibbard

Those two are going to go hammer and tongs at each other for 80 minutes and produce an abrasive physical challenge there.

When Hibbard plays well then Wales do as well because he typifies all about them, the way they want to play on the front foot play. And likewise if Hartley plays well then England do, especially in the set-piece.

Plenty of you are getting in touch and you're all feeling the buzz ahead of Wales against England tomorrow night.

Andrew Priestley tweets: "No other annual sporting tournament can match the Six Nations for passion, pride, excitement and sporting drama. I can't wait! #ScrumV"

Luke Benson adds: "Happy Six Nations eve, ready with protein shake out for Sam Warburton #ScrumV"

Gwinnie Jones is enjoying the coverage, she says: "Loving analysis & views from Ryan Jones on #scrumv He really should be asked to do more on Sunday nights in the studio..."

We'll pass the message on, Gwinnie!

Scotland are much better now than they were under Scott Johnson. Under Vern Cotter they are getting better and better, improving with every game and the players are really warming to Vern Cotter.

They have good backs but that's no good without the ball, but the French are very generous people and perhaps they'll give us a bit of the ball.

The odds are heavily in France's favour. But Scotland are much better prepared now and they know what they are doing.

Scotland will be much better than they have been for the past three years.

The entire panel goes for France beating Scotland until Phil Vickery gives the men in dark blue a sympathy vote.

As he has done in the Wales scrum, Adam Jones has left a sizeable void after vacating his chair here.

Taking his place is the rather more diminutive Peter Stringer, the Ireland scrum-half who is roughly half the size of Jones.

Stringer and the panel expect reigning Six Nations champions Ireland to be strong again this year. They play Wales in Cardiff - how pivotal a match could that be?
