The Wales v Ireland betting for this deciding Six Nations championship match has the Welsh as narrow favourites to deny Ireland the much need victory that would give them their first Grand Slam since 1948. Wales who are still smarting after losing their chance for a second successive Slam when beaten by France two weeks ago will go flat out to at least try and finish on top of the table and the Irish as such can expect a ferocious encounter. Wales however need to win by at least eight points if they are to win the championship.

Warren Gatland the Welsh coach has made eight changes to the team that started against Italy last week. He restores many of his experienced players including Martin Williams in the back row and Gethin Jenkins in the front. There was also a surprise when he named Tom Shanklin in the centre ahead of Jason Roberts: Gavin Henson keeps his place. Shanklin scored a cracking try last week against Italy and is a 7-2 shot to score against Ireland in this with Stan James
The onus for this match however is on Ireland, there will be many neutrals in the game rooting for them to win their first Grand Slam. If they can do so it will become a remarkable achievement for coach, Declan Kidney who is only in his first season as Ireland coach.
It will also be a great achievement for captain, Brian O'Driscoll, who has been one of the Six Nations greatest players over the years.
We take Ireland to win in what could easily be the best Six Nations game for years. It will be an incredibly tight game and punters are advised to look at the winning margin market rather than the handicap and take advantage of the 5-1 odds on offer from Bet365 for a victory between 1-5 points.
4-5 Wales, 5-4 Ireland, 18-1 Draw
