Final Breakdown - It's A Night to Be Red

Wales v France
- Sam Warburton is the key for Wales. He is not only a terrific tackler but a superb ball carrier. He is very much a New Zealand-style openside flanker. France's Thierry Dusautoir is a phenomenal tackler but not quite in the same class as Warburton as a ball-carrier.

- The packs and backs are quite similar in calibre. However, the Welsh faced a far more competitive team than the French faced last weekend in my opinion and will be a far more physical test than the English.

- James Hook is an enigma - loads of talent but hasn't quite delivered the goods his talent deserves. With Priestland out, tonight is Hook's chance to shine and prove he is a big game player. I think it may be his time.

WALES! WALES! WALES!

Liverpool v Manchester United

- It's been a big week for Wayne Rooney - his dad was arrested and a silly red card which may have destroyed his hopes to make the EURO 2012 England squad. However, in a Manchester United top, he does tend to produce his best football after a week of controversy. 

- Steven Gerrard is back with a bang and looking better than ever. Lucas and Charlie Adam have done very well in the Liverpool midfield but Gerrard is Mr Liverpool and this is Manchester United at Anfield. Look for the England midfielder to get back to his very best form.    

- It will be a tight affair with games at Anfield usually won with a 1 goal difference. Manchester United have not won at Anfield in 4 years and Kenny Dalglish does know how to get the players up for games against the old enemy. 

LIVER LIVERPOOL!
