Ireland's commanding win over England in Round 3 has put the defending champions in the driver's seat for the 2015 Six Nations title heading into their Round 4 clash with Wales at the Millennium Stadium.

The Welsh were the last side to achieve a Grand Slam back in 2012, and judging by Ireland's excellent showing this past Sunday, Joe Schmidt's men have to like their chances of pulling off the feat.

The team looks like a strong bet to repeat as champions, but Wales will have other ideas when the two meet in two weeks, knowing a win knocks the race wide open once again. Here's the schedule for Round 4, complete with odds and predictions:



 

Ireland's 19-9 win over England in Round 3 came in typical fashion, capitalising on a plethora of England mistakes and playing sound, disciplined rugby.

England were seen as the main threat to Ireland's title hopes and their chances of pulling off the Grand Slam, but following the win, Schmidt told reporters his players aren't thinking of the feat just yet, via the Daily Telegraph's Daniel Schofield:

It's something we haven't talked about [the Grand Slam]. I'll wait for Brian O'Driscoll's tweet to put the pressure on me. I think we've decided we'll park everything for 24 hours, get a bit of recovery and then try to springboard ourselves forward.

We're up in Belfast for an overnight camp in the middle of the week, and that's where we'll start to look ahead. At this stage just probably for once we're going to just enjoy the moment and take a deep breath.

As Schmidt reminded reporters, Wales' last title followed after they lost their opening match at home, just like they did this year. And after a big 20-13 win in Paris, the Welsh can smell blood once again.

As shared by Wales Online Rugby, BBCScrumV doesn't see any reason why the hosts shouldn't like their chances:
