Race is on for Scrum Fantasy crown

After much deliberation my team is set for the opening round of matches in this year's Scrum Fantasy Game. At stake is the highly-prized bragging rights amongst the extended Scrum.com family and the small matter of my professional reputation.

I'm expecting big things (and points) from my formidable backrow that features David Wallace, Sergio Parisse and Andy Powell and I trust fly-half Ronan O'Gara will once again weigh in significantly. My 'player to watch' for the Championship - France's Julien Malzieu - lines up in my back three alongside Shane Williams and Rob Kearney. Come on boys!

There's still time for you to get involved - teams can be entered up to 15.00 GMT on Saturday!

As for match predictions - expect Italy to test England but come up short at Twickenham, Ireland to make a statement of intent against France at Croke Park and Wales to kick off their defence with an impressive victory at Murrayfield. But this is the Six Nations - so we can also expect one or more surprises.

Come and have a go if you think you're good enough!

We are delighted to announce the return of the Scrum.com Six Nations Fantasy Game!

The stage is set for this year's Championship and I am hereby throwing down the gauntlet to you all - show me and the rest of the Scrum.com team that you know your stuff and we don't know what we're talking about. Bragging rights amongst your friends, fellow fans and the whole interweb are up for grabs - plus we've got some prizes to sweeten the kitty.

I am still revelling in the glut of points that Vincent Clerc and Shane Williams brought me last year - although some premature celebrations saw me pipped to the Scrum.com crown. I am determined to go one better this time around and I am happy to share my progress - and inside knowledge - with you all. I just need to work out how I can select Mauro Bergamasco as my scrum-half...
