European Six Nations Round 5
England stands on the verge of re-writing history when Eddie Jones’ men travel to Dublin in the final Six Nations match on Saturday.
The Rugby betting websites all agree it will be a monumental feat if the Irish can stop the team which has won its last 18 Tests, and you’re sure to get odds on it being a 19th victory for the English when you look at your sports betting picks this weekend.
Ireland vs England
England’s ruthless battering of Scotland, 66-21, shows Ireland just what a task lies ahead to stop their opponents breaking New Zealand’s record winning run, as well as recording back-to-back Grand Slams. The Championship is already in the bag, but Ireland will do their damnedest to spoil the party. They are a better team than what the defeats to Scotland and Wales suggest and will look to the kicking of Johnny Sexton and the strong running of Robbie Henshaw to cause an upset.
France vs Wales
With only a point separating 2nd from 5th, the winner of this fascinating tussle can finish as runners-up. Wales will hope to build on their 22-9 win over Ireland and another victory in France could see them secure a top-tier ranking at the upcoming 2019 World Cup draw. George North is the go-to man, scoring twice against Ireland and the most likely runner to break down a France team which is notoriously tough and will expect to win on home turf.
Scotland vs Italy
Scotland should finish well against Wooden Spoon winners Italy and will be desperate to erase the memory of their Twickenham humiliation. They’ll be without skipper Greig Laidlaw and centre Mark Bennett but should have enough to avoid another embarrassment.
