If any other team had shown the form that France have done over the last couple of weeks then I would say no, but this is France and as far as I am concerned they haven't proven that they have lost the ability to not turn up to the game. If Ireland can bring their big names back and blend them into a team with the young guns who impressed so much at the weekend then I think that they have a very real chance of beating the French, even if they bring their A game. France v Ireland will be the grand slam decider, toss up between Wales, Scotland and Italy for the wooden spoon, sadly at the moment we are most likely to finish bottom but we are playing Wales and Italy at home.
