England's odds of a Six Nations Grand Slam and Triple Crown win clipped in

England's odds of winning the 2011 Six Nations have been clipped right in by William Hill bookmakers to 8/11 from 6/5 following their 59-13 demolition of Italy. The win follows their clinical victory over Wales in the opening match of the tournament at the Millennium Stadium, and all eyes will now move to the potentially pivotal match between England and France at Twickenham on 26th February.

France edged out Ireland 25-22 at the weekend as they followed up their win over Scotland in the first match to ensure they are still well set to repeat their Six Nations winning heroics of last year. The upcoming Six Nations fixture against England at Twickenham looks to be the biggest match of the tournament, with France second favourites at odds of 11/8 at the moment, and could well be the tournament decider even at this early stage.

Ireland's defeat to France saw them slip out to odds of 16/1 with Hills, while Wales are an outside 33/1 bet. With two defeats from two to their names, Scotland and Italy look to be aiming for improvement and to avoid the wooden spoon according to the latest odds.

1000/1 Italy

The chance of a Grand Slam win this year is limited to two teams now as England and last year's Grand Slam winners France remain the only unbeaten sides. With the two sides playing each other next at Twickenham there is all to play for, and England are slight favourites with home advantage at this stage but France have proven in Dublin already that they are no longer the weaker proposition away from home they once were.

England are priced at 13/8 to achieve the Grand Slam this year by WilliamHill.com, while France are 2/1 and if they did win at Twickenham they can look at a favourable run of fixtures to come, but the no Grand Slam is favourite and is available at an industry best of 6/4.

6/4 No Grand Slam

2/1 France

Wales' 24-6 defeat of Scotland means that there are now only two sides in with a chance of winning the Triple Crown this year. England and Ireland remain the only two countries not to have lost to one of the home nations and it remains to be seen if they are both still in the running when they meet at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on March 19th. England are 4/6 odds on at the moment with Ireland the outside bet at odds of 4/1 with Hills.
