France vs Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips - International | World Cup

Prediction published on 08/10/2015, 12:00  by

This should be one of the more interesting games in this tournament. No one-sided game here but two of the top ten nations in the rugby world battling it out to win the pool and avoid having to face New Zealand in the last eight. Both teams are already through to the last eight but they'll be going all guns ablazing dreaming of winning and taking on Argentina in the last eight. Both Ireland and France have 14 points with Ireland ahead on points difference. A draw (two of their past four games have ended that way) would see Ireland win the pool unless it was  a draw in which France scored four tries and Ireland didn't thus giving the French a vital bonus point. Ireland have been in good form this year having already won a second successive Six Nations Championship. They started this tournament with big wins over Canada and Romania before struggling to beat Italy 16-9. France have done pretty much the same really but did better against the Italians. Ireland have won their last two internationals against France but their pack really struggled in that game against Italy and if they play like that against France then they most definitely won't win.
