The IRISH RUGBY thread

Why are the Wales odds so long? Have they a bad injury crisis?

They've been shíte under new management.

Those odds are probably about right depending on where England play France...

Ireland will do well to get out of Cardiff with a win.

Get on the under points for that one.

Ireland will do well to get out of Cardiff with a win.

Neither side will win set the Championship alight, but I'd say Ireland are probably in better shape than the Welsh. Ireland are also on a 4 game win streak against Wales.

The next World Cup, Covid permitting , is in 2023.
England and France would appear to be well on their way.
Ireland do not.

Josh Adams suspended by Wales for a Covid breach. He's out of the Ireland game on Saturday.

Only a one game streak if you discount Mickey Mouse friendlies.

Could make a dull game.....even worse.

Ireland might have a chance now.

Wouldn't worry so much about that sure we were sitting in prime position 2 years out from the World Cup the last time and look where that got us.

I think we beat the Welsh they've been pretty awful since Gatland left and I can't see where the improvement comes from. Have seen at least 4 different talking heads on twitter talking up Ireland's chances... nonsense. If you think Ireland will win the 6N you don't have to bet that much on them to make good money at 11/1.

They're very far behind England and France at this stage I wouldn't be expecting miracles!

Sexton will be fit to play.

FWIW, Farrell really needs to be developing another international No. 10 unless he seems to be waiting for Carbery to get over his injuries and suddenly be good to go.. Big risk.

Think they might just get past Wales but think they could struggle in Scotland.

There is a lad over in London that might be able to do a job !

Carberry is finished, he's not an option.

Playing away to Wales and Scotland.
It could go all pear shaped.
