Ireland vs Russia Prediction & Betting Tips - Rugby World Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in Rugby World Cup Predictions
Ireland suffered a surprising defeat when being beaten by Japan. That has left them second in Pool A, a point ahead of Scotland in third. The fact they have already beaten the Scottish side means they don't have too many qualification problems. With Russia and Samoa to face in their final two games, it's the Japan v Scotland match that is likely to decide who joins Ireland in the last eight. The Irish will want to win this game with ease and make sure they also get the bonus point.
The Irish selectors have made 11 changes for this match against Russia. They will hope for a better performance from their line-out and should do against a Russian side that has conceded 64 points in their first two games against Japan and Samoa. Russia are ranked 20th in the world and have lost all six of their games played in the world cup finals. They are the only team in the group without a point and that's how it is going to stay after this game. Go for Ireland to win this game on a -53 handicap to get their world cup back on track.
