Going on last weeks form alone you tip Ireland, include World Cup and last year you tip Ireland. So I tip Ireland by 16-20. France is in massive trouble till the clubs French quota comes in.

The France attack, for all its endeavour, is positively shit.

Multiple overlaps in the wider channels but they are so inept at manipulating them into advantages.

And the hospital pass/offloads to the point where they go backwards phase after phase - laughable.

The swarming Ireland defence is putting a lot of pressure on the French though.

One thing I've also noticed from the 6N games thus far is that the breakdown work is so ineffective and lumbering.

Takes like 3+ people to secure one's ball, effectively killing any quick ball and the numbers available to realign in attack.

3-9 HT to Ireland.

Ireland attack is worse. Sexton's ambition far outweighs his talent. His only move is a high bomb and wrap-around. Boring as fuck, thinks he's tough too and then just gets injured every game.
