Ireland go in search of the second leg of the Six Nations Triple Crown this Saturday at Croke Park against a Welsh side determined to spoil things for them. The game is LIVE on BBC 1 at 1430. Ireland put themselves into the Triple Crown picture by destroying England at Twickenham a fortnight ago in a match where it was clear that they had put the disappointment of defeat against France the week before, well behind them.
The Bookmakers make Ireland huge odds on favourites to win this match at around the 2/9 mark, although 1/4 can still be obtained from Irish Bookmakers, Paddy Power. Wales, who performed far better against the French than did Ireland, losing by only 6 points in a terrific match at the Millennium Stadium, are quoted by Paddy Power’s at 3/1 to win this match, with a very unlikely draw being at 22/1.
Those backing a Welsh victory should take heart from the fact that they won this fixture at Croke Park two years ago and that in the last five meetings between the two countries on Irish soil, Ireland only hold a 3-2 advantage.

Irish captain and talisman, Brian O’Driscoll will be winning his 100th cap for Ireland, a milestone only reached by the very best players in the game and certainly O’Driscoll is among those. It would be fitting therefore to back the ‘great man’ to score a try on such a momentous occasion, a feat that carries odds of 12/5 with PaddyPower.
Wales in fact will be captained this week by flanker, Martyn Williams, who himself will be receiving his 95th cap. He too should always be regarded as one of the great players of this generation, but his back row prowess will have to be at its best this weekend as it will be one of his responsibilities to nullify the O’Driscoll threat.

There is no doubt in our minds that this could be the game of the Six Nations, both teams are full of great players, many of them British Lions who between them can serve up a feast of rugby that should not missed. We take Ireland to win the game however, but only by the narrowest of margins, we think that an Irish victory of between 1-5 points, with odds of 5/1 would be the bet to be on and we would back that with Paddy Power
