The Ireland v France Six Nations rugby betting has the Irish as 8-11 odds on favourites to win this Croke Park match against France, who are 11-8, and get off to a winning start in this years championship. New coach, Declan Kidney has already proven his credentials in the autumn, when his side earned a superb victory over Argentina and proved that they now have the resolve to go with their undoubted ability.
Kidney, although concerned about the wear and tear on Brian O'Driscoll, has retained the brilliant centre as captain, but surprised many by selecting Paddy Wallace to partner O'Driscoll in the centre. Wallace gets the vote at the expense of Luke Fitzgerald, who has been moved out to left wing. Kidney also resisted the temptation to play Gordon D'Arcy from the start but has named him on the bench.

France have won the last five matches against the Irish, including the last two played in Dublin. It is therefore surprising that the Bookmakers make them the outsiders at 11-8 with Stan James to win for the sixth consecutive time.
France have not had the best time of it over recent years, they have become more unpredictable than ever, but it is a very dangerous thing to write them off in the Six Nations, after they have won the championship four times from the time Italy joined the tournament in 2000, including twice in the last three years. The match should be a close and possibly even tense affair, but we believe that Ireland could be resurgent this season and take them to win by a very narrow margin of no more than five points a margin that can be backed with Ladbrokes at a best price of 9-2
