[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 751943, member: 45598"] Apart from the first two sentences this is all wrong... Ireland's front five is better than France's with pretty even backrows, the gulf in class in the halfbacks is terrifying and there's little to separate the back threes with France probably having better centres depending on PSA's selections. Ireland aren't overrated by many, the most extravagent claims I've heard is that they're the best Europe has to offer and genuine contenders. Considering Europe's best have almost always made the final and Ireland are two time defending 6nations champions this is a very fair assesment. France always have something to play for in the 6nations, especially at home, yet they haven't beaten Ireland in the last World Cup cycle. I'm afraid of France because they are France and they usually beat Ireland but considering just under half of Ireland's starting line up will have never lost to them in a competitive match they'll just treat it as another game against dangerous opposition that they should beat.
