Six Nations 2017: Players to watch impassionedly

Defending champion England was unbeaten in last year's tournament and has gone 13 matches without defeat under head coach Eddie Jones, and 14 overall.

But Ireland -- the 2014 and 2015 champion -- is also a form side in world rugby having toppled the All Blacks in Chicago last year.

Those two teams will be favorites, but France, Wales, Italy and Scotland will all look to spring an upset in what is traditionally an impossible tournament to try to predict.
