The build-up to the 2008 RBS Six Nations is already in full swing – with England rocked by former skipper Martin Corry’s decision to call it a day and then calling in RL convert Lesley Vainikolo in his first season since switching codes.  It looks like a dramatic contest ahead – starting with a triple header on the weekend of February 2 and 3.

World Cup finalists England, who haven't won the Six Nations since 2003,  take on Wales, whose new coach Warren Gatland will be hoping for great things, while Ireland host Italy and Scotland face reigning champions France, title-holders for the past two seasons.

The tournament is going to be a real six-hit, that’s for sure. But who will WIN it? And who will be the TOP STAR of the tournament?
