France vs Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips - Six Nations

A really difficult game to predict here. France nearly suffered a massive shock in their opening fixture as they narrowly beat Italy at home. The away side led during the game and would have won if a drop kick attempt with the last kick of the ball had been successful. It certainly wasn't an impressive performance by France and they will need to improve to win this match. Ireland really need to win this game if they are to have any hope of retaining their title and winning the Six Nations tournament for the third year in a row. They were held to a draw at home by Wales last Sunday. They led 13-0 at one stage but were pulled back to 13 all. Wales took the lead late on but Ireland managed a penalty score to draw the game. They will be happy to see Rob Kearney and Sean O'Brien back in the team for this game and that might be enough for them to earn a narrow win over the French side but this isn't a game to bet too heavily on at least before the game.
