Verdict
The waiting is over for those of you who knows at least one sport that can be recently dominated by Wales. The campaign in Six Nations Rugby Cup will be kicked off today when England is welcoming Italy in what should be a sure home win. However -15 points spread for the home side seems a bit too much for me for 2.00 price reward. I prefer to focus my attention on Ireland v France clash where the visitors are expected to collect another win against the poor home side.
The Irish won only two matches in 2008 and are suffering seven straight defeats from France. All the hopes in Dublin should be related with the new coach Declan Kidney but sometimes it can be too much of a pressure, specially in front of the fans.
I can not see any sign in team news that may lead me to a conclusion for the exit of this one. It seems both teams are in form but France are still heavy favorite to start their 6Nations Cup 2009 campaign in style and target better than 3rd place this season.
