6 Nations and Home Advantage

Home advantage has always been a big thing in the 6 Nations possibly due to the intense national rivalry of the countrys involved. Over the years it has been responsible for poor teams beating very strong sides - However so far we have seen 3 away wins out of 5 with the likelihood of more on the way. Is the home advantage starting to lose it's mysterious power as the professional era grows.??

Nah. Italy and Scotland are the weakest teams in the competition. Ireland are playing way below their potential under Kidney with caveman tactics and were up against a very good Welsh team, and still only lost by a last minute kick.

I don't think the power of home advantage has suddenly disappeared.

Italy tend to be very competive for about 60 minutes,versus France they had possession and position.BUT lack the ability to turn it into points,Scotland versus
England they made many line breaks.But again lack of finishing,also they are among the the teams with the smallest pool of players[both of them].
WHEN they start using there backs watch out,because up front there no ones mugs.

For years through 80s n 90s home advantge worked against Wales and Ireland as the away side nearly always won.
