England vs Ireland and Wales vs France are the stand out fixtures in Six Nations Round 4 and @Olimp_SA have a preview including betting tips

With Round 4 of the Six Nations taking place this weekend, 'The Don' will take a look at the betting odds for both the England vs Ireland and Wales vs France games.

England vs Ireland

Having won two of their three games so far in the Six Nations, England currently sit in third place on the table with 8 points. Their two victories came in their first two games of the campaign: a 24-27 away win in Italy, followed by a 16-14 home win against Wales. Their only loss so far occurred in their most recent match, where they were defeated 30-21 by Scotland.

Ireland, on the other hand, are yet to lose a game, currently sitting at the top of the table with 15 points. Their three wins came in the form of a 17-38 away victory over France, a 36-0 home win against Italy, and a 31-7 triumph over Wales. With these victories, Ireland is the only side remaining with a chance to secure a Grand Slam in the tournament.

Betting

England 5.00

Ireland 1.20

Verdict

After an impressive start to the tournament by the Irish side, they have demonstrated that they will be a formidable challenge for England, who I don’t think will be able to live with them.

Wales vs France

The Welsh team has had a dismal start to the tournament, losing all three of their games played so far, leaving them with only three points and in 5th place on the table. Their first defeat came against Scotland in a close match that ended 26-27, followed by another narrow loss to the English side, 16-14. Their most recent game saw them facing Ireland away from home, where they suffered a 31-7 defeat.

Similarly, the French side has also struggled in the tournament, winning only one of the three games they've played, putting them on 6 points and in 4th place on the table. They began with a 17-38 loss to Ireland at home, followed by a 16-20 victory over Scotland. In their most recent match, they faced Italy in a tightly contested game that ended in a 13-13 draw.

Betting

Wales 3.20

France 1.40

Verdict

Despite France not being in the best form, they are still in better shape than the Welsh side and should, therefore, be capable of securing their second victory and beating the handicap this weekend.
