Con: Scarlets – T: Con: IF MAURICIO Pochettino really is on Real Madrid’s radar their antenna must be malfunctio­ning.

Reports in Spain claim current boss Zinedine Zidane is close to the chop with Real out of the title race and limping their way through the Champions League.

Never mind the fact he’s won a remarkable eight trophies since 2016, including becoming the first boss to win back-to-back Champions League titles.

This appears to count for little in the world of Real president Florentino Perez, who was seething when his team crashed out of the Copa del Rey to minnows Leganes in front of their own fans.

But if he is truly considerin­g a move for Pochettino it would be one of the most baffling decisions in football. Tottenham’s THE SIX Nations starts on Saturday with Wales v Scotland but it’s defending champions England who are once again the team to beat.

Eddie Jones’ men are evens, just ahead of nearest challenger­s Ireland at 6/4.

A much-improved Scotland are the 8/1 dark horses with Wales and France both in the unusual position of outsiders at 16/1 and 20/1. Italy are 300/1.

It’s 11/10 that there is no Grand Slam winner.

England are considered the most likely team to do it at 5/2 with Ireland at 7/2, although Ireland will have to win at Twickenham to do it.

Apart from in Rome, only one match was won by an away side in last year’s tournament.

A treble of home wins for Wales, France (v Ireland) and an away win for England in Italy pays a tempting 4/1. New 188BET customers, bet £10 and receive a £20 free bet to use on any sports market.
