LONDON (Reuters) - A post-World Cup Six Nations always feels like something of a fresh start but this year's championship, featuring four new coaches and four new captains, is about as clean a slate as it gets.

Defending champions Wales start the post-Warren Gatland era with Wayne Pivac in charge, Ireland have Andy Farrell, with Johnny Sexton his new captain, France have turned to Fabien Galthie and Charles Ollivon, while Italy have Franco Smith and Luca Bigi.
