Not really sure why Ireland have been written off in all the expert predictions. They talk about last year's Fr/Ire game as a classic - everyone talked France up all the way, they played some gorgeous rugby, got comfortably beat 4 tries to 1. This year, France talked up all the way, they did very little (at home), and got even more comfortably beat 5 tries to 2.
This is the first time in my life I've thought an Ireland GS was the most likely outcome before the tournament started. Still a long way from it, but can't really see why it's not realistic.
