Declan Kidney and his coaching staff believe they have devised a game plan that will enable Grand Slam champions Ireland to record their first victory in Paris since 2000. Despite this, Boylesports.com make France odds on favourites to win the match at ½.
The Irish coach refuses to restrict his players and is confident that given the opportunity to play heads-up rugby, they can prevail. With odds of 17/10 at Boylesports.com, Ireland could represent good value, although, Kidney and company recognise that France are dangerously unpredictable.

The French will be buoyed by the return of Ireland's old foe Vincent Clerc, who replaces the injured Benjamin Fall on the right wing. The Toulouse winger has scored seven tries in five appearances against Ireland, including a hat-trick at the Stade de France two years ago. Clerc is 2/1 to score a try at any time this weekend.
Brian O'Driscoll returns to the city that catapulted him into the limelight in 2000 when he also scored a hat-trick of tries at the Stade de France. The Irish captain is 14/1 to score the last try of this weekend's game and should he do so, Boylesports.com will refund losing bets placed prior to the start of the match on the First/Last Tryscorer, Winning Margins and Double Result markets.
Ireland are 11/8 to win the first half, 1/1 to score first and 6/5 to score the first try.
The French meanwhile, are 4/6 to score the first try of the match, 8/11 to win the first half and 5/1 to win by 6-10 points.
