Not all at once now!

Wales aren’t in a great place at the moment but that was an impressive win.

It felt like a game against a southern hemisphere side about 20 years ago, in that Wales converted hardly any of their chances, while Ireland took theirs, at crucial times in the match. Good luck for the rest of the tournament

Saturday's match has been marked as the title decider, but if France go to Dublin in the same frame of mind that they had when the went to Rome, there'll only be one result.

Ireland missing dan sheehan now, think we're missing the best hoover and tighthead in the game, that has to count for something, we'll be up against a real tight 5 this time too

Think Ireland will edge it but beirne is a big player for us at this point any injury there and we'd be in bother

Sheehan is outstanding, but Herring and Kelleher (if he's fully fit) will be OK. As for tighthead, Bealham is a very underrated prop who has shown in his last few internationals that he's well up to it, both in the set piece and loose play. Ireland should plan to avoid an arm-wrestle with the big French pack and keep them moving around the pitch.
