Italy +18.5 v France, points 52.5

 

LOG AND OUTRIGHT BETTING UPDATE 

 

Six Nations after Rd 2

 

Six Nations 2025 – Outright Betting Odds

Ireland – 9/20
France – 7/2
England – 11/2
Scotland – 66/1
Italy – 250/1
Wales – 1000/1

 

Ireland are 1/1 to win the Grand Slam. 

The reality is if they beat France in Dublin in Week 4 they will win the tournament but if France beat them it is wide open and England and France would be in with a shout. The 2 bonus points Ireland have got so far could be crucial but so could the late bonus point England got against Ireland. 

England will need 5 points against Scotland this weekend and if so they could finish on 21 points assuming full hauls against Italy and Wales. 

If France can edge Ireland with neither team scoring 4 tries then they will be very much in the mix. 

At 8/1 I might be tempted to back the English but too much needs to go their way to make the 11/2 attractive.
