France(-14.5) to beat Ireland

France must win by 15pts or more.
Surely at a price of 11/2 thats worth a punt.
I want revenge for last week after my 64/1 double on Italy and Wolves failed by a whisker.
I know its sad to want revenge on your own country, but I have bills to pay.

not worth a punt imo as coming to dublin to win by that many points wont be easy. win they probably will, but it will likely be by <10 points imo

Well Ive thrown a score on it so we will see tomorrow evening if Ive been bruised again.

hah good luck with it. if france turn up and ireland don't you will be on the money... personally i cant see it happening but i hope it does

I wouldn't be too surprised to be honest. Ireland looked brutal last week.

Where is the 11/2 available OP. ?
I think its a great bet myself.

If you are going for such a high handicap. Would you not have been better off doing the winning margins...like 16-20 pts and 21-25 pts both would be high prices. I know your bet covers anything above 15 pts but but if that bet was to come off im sure you would have little to spare.

I Believe Ireland can beat France today. France are not as good as you seem to think.

Handicap Draw (Ireland +3) was 9-1 with 10 minutes left.. I wish I had an online account

There was still a chance before O Gara came on and swung it back in Irelands favour.
Ah well.
For the record - I got the price on betdaq.

True enough the french were up by 10 if they broke through the irish line at that time then you probably would have been in the clear. The 3 point difference in the scoreline doesn't really reflect the game (i think the french were much the better team) yet ireland still could have won it at the end! funny game really

The French are a fairly average side who only managed to score one try to Ireland's three and were basically kept in the game by a ref who hadn't a clue what was going on at the breakdown and decided to give them a kick at goal once they got within striking range. Even playing terribly (17 errors), and against an appalling ref, Ireland should have still won that match. The French are are a vastly overrated side who will be beaten in Twickenham.
