No pressure Joe, but we want you to help us try and make some extra cash to save up for the World Cup final.
The Ireland rugby team are just hours away from taking on France, and to say we’re excited would be like trying to say that sales of nappies in Liverpool has tripled with Liverpool fans losing the run of themselves at Jurgen Klopp’s arrival.
The winner takes all-clash in Cardiff on Sunday will see either Ireland or France face Argentina in the last eight (and the loser face the All Blacks), and as if that wasn’t enough reason to be glued to your TV on Sunday for the game, we decided to come up with some ways that you might be able to enjoy the match even more.
We’ve put together five fantastic bets for you to lump on this weekend so you can exercise your vocal chords even more than normal on Sunday afternoon with some previous moolah on the line.

We may have struggled against Italy as we got over for one try, but we’re expecting much better things this week with a more settled look to our back selection.
If we are going to win then it’s going to offloads that could crack the France defence and that’s why a bet on us scoring at least one try is an absolute no-brainer.
What will the winning margin be?
Ireland 1-5 points at 9/2
We’re going to be confident here and predict an Ireland win. The last two times we’ve beaten France we’ve had less than a score to spare and this offer , if you fancy an Irish win, which we do, is too good to refuse. It’s going to be a tight game so this is a nice safe option for any nervous punters.
We’re expecting an Ireland side to spring out of the traps on Sunday afternoon in the Millennium Stadium and we’d be shocked if we don’t have a few points on the board early on.
Johnny Sexton is bound to get a sniff of the posts and we’re liking the thought of any bet that involves the words ‘money back’.
France/Ireland 6/1
Everyone loves a comeback and who wouldn’t want to see Ireland steal Sunday’s game from under the French noses.
We’re liking the look of an Irish team springing our big names from the bench in the second half and securing a famous win so we think there could be some serious value on offer here.
Keith Earls 14/1
Brian who? Keith Earls is now Ireland’s top try scorer in World Cup history with eight tries and we’ve backed the Munster man to continue his impressive form this Sunday.
He’s continued at centre and we think he’ll escape the clutches of the French brutes in midfield to squeeze over the whitewash.
