Here are the Round 1 team announcements:
France vs. Wales
Most expect a difficult night for Wales in Saint-Denis, but will recalls for several experienced players help them compete? Damian Penaud is a notable absentee for France as his injury means Theo Attissogbe is set to start on the wing.
Scotland vs. Italy
The big Scotland news ahead of this tournament is that captain Sione Tuipolotu has been ruled out of the entire Six Nations with injury. Stafford McDowall starts at 12 in his place, while Rory Darge and Finn Russell are co-captains. Underdogs Italy certainly look as if they have the potential to do some damage if given the chance, with Monty Ioane and Ange Capuozzo providing plenty of speed on the wings.
Ireland vs. England
A huge opening game for both nations in Dublin. Ireland have opted to start Sam Prendergast at 10, while England are lining up with both of the Curry twins in their back row and Cadan Murley will make his debut on the wing.

He only came back last weekend after 6 months with an ACL. Kelleher will do fine, though his throwing into the lineout has been suspect in the past. 31 Jan 13:50

And it's precisely that throwing in the line out which will effect the game. Sheehan came back last weekend for Leinster, scored two tries and was immense. British and Irish Lions starting hooker, would make world XV. On the bench - dumb decision. First game Six Nations at home V England - he had to start! I though that's why he came back last week to prove fitness, which he did, in order to start tomorrow. Strange. 31 Jan 15:22
