i did say "may have" and the weather conditions are exactly what i want to see. I know there has been heavy rain in paris this morning.
|
|
By:
Much depends on when the rain arrives. It is coming, but may well still be dry at KO. I certainly wouldn't be laying the draw at this price though.
|
|
By:
raining in paris is it?
|
|
By:
Not right now from what I can see.
|
|
By:
hmmm not clear then. i read it had been raining already.

The heat has been turned up a notch across the Channel after plummeting temperatures forced the cancellation of this fixture three weeks ago, 10 minutes before kick-off. Don't expect azure skies and a warm spring glow over St Denis today, though. The pitch has defrosted, this is true, so there'll be no need for ice skates, but by the end of the afternoon brollies and berets might be required to keep the forecasted wind and rain at bay. from the bbc live pg |

not a bad crowd, mostly french no doubt as the irish support sold there tickets on, lets ope for la marseilles in the first half & a deludge 2nd half for the ultimate wet weather team to triumph late on!
|
|
By:
any reason for the plunge on ireland here
|
|
By:
plunge is due to the weather
|
|
By:
forecast likely, sitting on me hands in the o/r
|
|
By:
Ire/Fra has been trading far too high on here. Had a small pop at that - much better value than the outright IMO
|
|
By:
i went t'other way Vis, Irish slow starters but if elements turn later on then maybe....?
|
|
By:
i agree vis, especially if France start like they did last week
|
|
By:
Looked like Sexton was having a go at someone there. Did the touch judge see nothing?
|
|
By:
Trimble still tackling like a blouse.
|
|
By:
I cannot have Ire realistically winning this from behind.
3.5 or whatever it was the off seems crazy short I was getting up to 12 on Fra/Ire which is well out of kilter unless Ire are two tries clear by HT |
|
By:
got 12.5 vis
|
|
By:
sorry I am all confused - I got up to 10.5 on Ire/Fra that is what I meant to say - didn't touch Fra/Ire
|
|
By:
Superb physicality from Ireland in the opening minutes. The French are being smashed back behind the gainline every time.
|
|
By:
lets see if hes brought his nerve this week......
guess not.... |
|
By:
That is bloody awful from Sexton.
|
|
By:
Absolutely pathetic from Sexton.
|
|
By:
poor effort
|
|
By:
all the hard work goes for nought, really knocks the shyte outta the pack that
|
|
By:
At what stage did France release the tackled man there? Should have been a penalty the other way.
|
|
By:
wasted opportunities for Ireland. got to come away with something for the efforts
|
|
By:
Ireland defence is sensational so far, just need a lead to reward the pack.

stunned!

By:
What on earth was that from France? Could at least make Ireland earn it rather than give it away.
Good start by Ireland though, really getting in amongst the French pack. |
|
By:
Ah ref...great rucking!
|
|
By:
I layed FRANCE in the +5.5pts market @ 1.25 Looking good

|
By:
Ireland defence is superb and it's been Sexton who has won two of those turnovers.
|
|
By:
Hasn't that always been the way with French rugby? Moments of genius and insanity in equal measure.
