France v Ireland prediction
All the signs look positive for Ireland in 2022. Mack Hansen enjoyed a strong debut and their big-hitters came to the party.
France boast obvious talent but if Ireland get ahead early doors, they will need to be mentally tough to cope with a demanding crowd in Paris. Expect a tight game, but Ireland could have enough to upset the odds and surge ahead in the table.
