SIX NATIONS: IRELAND V FRANCEFollowing on from the last round of matches, we have a potential Grand Slam decider looming between Ireland and a reusrgent Welsh side, that has really played some great attacking rugby in their previous games. The Wales team made a great fightback in their last match in France, and that win really showed that they are are going to be tough to beat this year. This has shown in their odds, and they are now as short of 8/11 to win the Grand Slam. The Irish themselves are playing very well, and they were a much improved team as they defeated England at Lansdowne Road in a great game of rugby. The Irish are now 15/8 for the Grand Slam, and a tasty 11/10 for the Championship. The Welsh travel to Edinburgh on Sunday to face a disappointing Scottish side.They are favourites by 11-point favourites, and they look like a side who is more than capable of beating this handicap. The Irish face a more daunting task of facing the French at home, who still have an outside chance of lifting the Championship. The Irish have a four point handicap to overcome and i think they should be good enough to overcome this. England are valued at around 30 points for their match against Italy, who could face a backlash.. The world champions have now drifted to 4/1 to retain the trophy in 2007 after being drawn in the same group as 6/1 shots South Africa. As with all live rugby matches, bet365 have a nuber of markets to choose from including handicap and points betting in-play on the Six Nations matches this weekend. Our Pick: : Double on Wales -10.5 @ 10/11 & Ireland -3.5 @ 10/11 (2-way handicap – no tie).
VC BET Ireland’s Grand Slam credentials face a stern examination on Sunday as the men in green entertain France at Lansdowne Road. The bookies have Ireland as 10/11 Ireland a -4 handicap against Les Bleus and that’s a deficit VC Bet’s Ian Marmion believes Eddie O’Sullivan’s men can eclipse – but only just. ”It’s going to be a mighty, mighty battle and one mistake will probably be the difference between the two sides. ”The French have shown frailties under pressure against Wales and even Scotland thus far and you’d have to fancy Ireland to force them into a few corners at Landsdowne.” In the other match this weekend, even money England must overcome a (-32) deficit at Twickenham against 4/6 Italy and 10/11 Wales have been set a (-11) mark for their trip to Murrayfield against Scotland. The tie is 16/1 in all matches.
