Ireland v Italy Rugby Odds
The Ireland v Italy Rugby odds for this Ireland Italy Six Nations betting match is quite interesting. Ireland kicks off the 2008 Six Nations this Saturday at Croke Park against an Italian team that did really well in the Rugby World Cup and they are no longer the easy touch of the Six Nations. Ireland are minus 16 points on the handicap in this game at 10/11 with Paddy Power and we think that the bookies have called this right. Ireland have to come back from their dreadful World Cup experience and this is the perfect game for them to erase some of very bad memories of last Autumn.

Ireland have announced their team for Saturday and they have only made four changes to the team that last to Argentina in the World Cup. These changes were not by choice as hooker Jerry Flannery is suspended and is replaced by Rory Best. Paul O'Connell is out injured. The backs are without Dennis Hickie and Shane Horgan and are replaced by Andrew Trimble and Geordan Murphy.
Ireland coach O'Sullivan was very complementary of Italy in his pre match interview "Italy will not be an easy match as they have a new coach in Nick Mallett and he will bring new ideas. Let us not forget that they came within a kick of making the last eight at the World Cup and eliminating Scotland,"
