Eurosport rugby expert Neil Back hopes for more of the same from England when they face Scotland in the Six Nations.

One of the main reasons England did so well in France two weeks ago was that they maintained their concentration for a full 80 minutes.

If Brian Ashton's team can do the same against Scotland then they should come away from Murrayfield with a third consecutive victory.

What England must not do is underestimate Scotland, and I do not think they will.

The Scots may have struggled in the Six Nations to date and lost all three of their games, but in this tournament you underestimate the opposition at your peril!

International rugby is all about concentration and England must keep theirs like they did in Paris. Winning is the most important thing - after that the flair can come.

It's not a matter of by how much they win by, just that they win. I am confident that if they are fully focused and play to their strengths up front, then the opportunities will start to come after 60 minutes.

If they put Scotland under intense pressure then they will force errors and England have a back three that can then take advantage of these mistakes.

What also pleases me is that I think Brian is getting a clearer picture of what his best team is.

I am delighted to see Tom Croft get his first start, though obviously this is down to James Haskell being injured.

I thought Crofty did very well in Paris and I was impressed with his tackling and ball carrying.

I spoke with him after the game and he admitted that it was all a bit of a blur when he first came on, which is the same for most players on their debut. I hope England can make the most of his strengths this time and that he takes full advantage of the opportunity.

I am also delighted to see George Chuter back in the squad. Chutes has been in great form for Leicester this season and has never let England down.

There's a good chance he will see some action against Scotland and it's up to Chutes to change the selectors minds and show that he should be the starting hooker.

And finally to Danny Cipriani, who makes his first full debut against the Scots.

I have always been an admirer of Cipriani. I think he has got great flair, pace and vision. What he must also prove at Murrayfield is that he has got great defence and that his tackling is up to it if the Scots break the defensive line.

I think Brian has made the right decision to introduce Cipriani at full-back. I have a lot of time for his club coach Ian McGeechan and captain Lawrence Dallaglio. Both have talked about the benefits of starting him play full-back last season before moving to fly-half.

Overall, England have the power to create solid platform against the Scots. They can expect a few shenanigans at the scrum, with the Scots wheeling and pulling it down.

But first and foremost, England must win the ball early on. Only then can they develop the solid foundation they need.

The Ireland v Wales clash in Dublin should be a wonderful game. I think the press have built up the Warren Gatland-Eddie O'Sullivan issue into more than it is.

After being dead and buried at half-time against England - you could tell that by Sean Edwards's body language - Wales have done very well to come back win all three of their games.

But they have been fortunate in that they had the so-called 'weaker' teams to play, namely Italy and Scotland, after their victory at Twickenham.

They now have two much more challenging fixtures - Ireland followed France - which will give us a clearer idea of how good they are.

I expect Ireland to win. I think they are slightly stronger up front and if they can win plenty of ball for Ronan O'Gara, then he has shown many times how well he can control a game.

France welcome Italy to the Stade in the final game of the weekend and once again coach Marc Lievremont has made a number of changes to his starting XV.

Lievremont has used a lot of players this championship and I suppose one has got to see this as part of a master-plan.

France certainly have some outstanding players and I suspect Lievremont is actively seeking to blood as many of them as possible. It could also be a ploy to put pressure on his more established squad members in order to get the best out of them.

Leicester beat Leeds in the Premiership at the weekend but we made to work hard against a team that has nothing to lose and prepared to scrap really hard.

Leeds are struggling at the bottom of the table and for them every game is like a cup final. You could see this in the way they ran really hard and off loaded.

We were guilty of losing our concentration at times - we conceded a try after one minute, seven seconds and again in the final minute - but we kept our composure and managed to win in the end.

Losing three players to injury on our Friday run out did not help either, as we were down to our bare bones already with international call ups!

We have a similar challenge coming up next against Worcester, who are second from bottom, despite a squad that belies their position. We expect another huge challenge from the Warriors and we are aware that on paper they are a much better side that their results suggest.

I'd like to sign off with a mention for Tigers scrum-half Harry Ellis, who returned from injury against Leeds.

Harry has battled very hard over the last 12 months and has received great support from the club. Together they have shown great dedication to get him back out on the park.

It is too soon for Harry to be considered for the Six Nations, but he should get more game time before the end of the season and hopefully challenge for a place on England's summer tour.
