Wales are ready to kick off the defence of their Six Nations crown with a Principality Stadium showdown against Italy on Saturday.
Wayne Pivac's new-look team are firmly expected to win in Cardiff, but by how many and what style of play will they adopt after 12 years of Warren Gatland?
And what about the value betting in the other big games this weekend, which take place in Dublin and Paris?
We asked Media Wales Head of Sport Paul Abbandonato for his verdict on the opening round of what many still view as rugby's most romantic tournament.
As a brilliant bonus, you can buy today's South Wales Echo or South Wales Evening Post, or Saturday's Western Mail to get details on how you can have a FREE £6 bet on the Six Nations.
Win, lose or draw?
It's the first competitive game of the Pivac era, so there is an element of the unknown from Wales. The new coach is expected to adopt a more expansive style than we saw from years of Warrenball, which in turn should mean running in lots more tries.
First games of the Six Nations have historically been proven to be tight cagey affairs and Italy, under interim head coach Franco Smith, will be coming to Cardiff to try to spoil the party.
However, the Azzurri have not won a game in the tournament in five years and that run is unlikely to be broken against a Wales side determined to get off to a flying start under Pivac.
The odds of 1/25 for Wales tell their own story, with the draw at 40/1 and a shock Italy triumph at 14/1 with thepools.com.
What about the handicap?
This is where the value could come in for those who reckon they know their rugby.
Thepools.com are offering Wales (minus 24 points) at 10/11.
But if you really fancy Pivac's side to turn on the style, getting them at minus 28 looks very tempting at 6/4 with Josh Adams, George North and Johnny McNicholl in the backline.
Any value in the other games?
After Wales have almost certainly won, it's Ireland v Scotland in Dublin, with the hosts backed as red-hot favourites at 2/13. Scotland's build-up has been badly hampered by the controversy involving talisman and fly-half Finn Russell, who won't be selected for the first match.
That is probably why the Scots are 11/2 to win at the Aviva. Again, the handicap might represent a more tempting bet, with Scotland plus 14 at 10/11.
On Sunday it's the big one of the opening weekend as France meet England in Le Crunch.
We're not sure what to expect from the new-look French, but they have an exciting young side who are supposedly ready to run the ball. How that traditional Gallic flair marries with Shaun Edwards brought on board to tighten the defence remains to be seen.
Home sides tend to win in the Six Nations, so France at 8/5 on their own Stade de France patch is interesting. England are 6/10 to bounce back from their World Cup final defeat against South Africa with a Paris victory which, if achieved, could set them on course for the Grand Slam.
