Ireland vs Wales Bet 1: Ireland to Beat Wales by 8-14 Points
Wales travel to Dublin having lost 24 of their last 26 internationals, including 14 straight defeats in the Six Nations.
Steve Tandy’s side are attempting to avoid a third successive wooden spoon in the competition, and despite the gloomy numbers, there are reasons to be positive.
In their last outing against Scotland, Wales had the lead with just six minutes remaining in the game. A late try from George Turner denied a much-needed Welsh win, but that result will give Tandy’s men a certain level of confidence.
Ireland, on the other hand, demolished England in their previous outing, but question marks over consistency remain – especially after their heavy defeat to France and the close call with Italy.
Bearing everything in mind, we are backing the Irish to get the job done, but we expect Wales to be within eight to 14 points of their rivals.

Scotland vs France Bet 2: France –5.5 Handicap Away at Scotland
Six Nations leaders France are heading to Murrayfield for what promises to be a tough challenge against a resilient Scottish team this Saturday.
The French have enjoyed a perfect campaign so far, winning all three of their matches against Ireland, Wales and Italy – all in comfortable fashion.
Scotland, meanwhile, limped across the line in their last outing against Wales, leaving Gregor Townsend’s men with two wins from three.
The Scots are a different animal when they play at home, which was proved by their 31-20 thumping of England almost a month ago.
While France remains red-hot favourites to take the win, we expect the hosts to keep things close. With that in mind, we’re siding with the visitors in a conservative -5.5 handicap market.

Italy vs England Bet 3: First Scoring Play – England Try
This year’s Six Nations campaign has not gone to plan for Steve Borthwick and his men… not even close.
England have managed one measly win from their three matches, which came at home against a generationally poor Welsh side.
Sweeping changes are expected over the weekend, meaning the English side will be full of hungry young players hoping to make an impact.
That’s bad news for the Italians, who have never won a single game against the Red Roses in Six Nations history.
From a betting perspective, we’re backing the first scoring play to be an England try.
