France v Italy: Odds and tips
France began their Six Nations bid with an impressive victory over England and they are 1/100 to win in Paris again. Italy, 20/1 for victory, are given a 26-point handicap start by Sky Bet.
Tony Calvin preview: My gut instinct is to side against France in some shape or form in Sunday’s game, notwithstanding the fact I want, and expect, them to get a winning bonus point for my long-term positions.
Having seen my first-half handicap on bet on Italy +12 in Cardiff fail miserably, I am going to give them another spin on the same line, this time at a generally available +13, albeit to small stakes on what I found was another incredibly tricky round of games to call.
If it is wet, then the bet becomes ever more attractive, as do Italy with a 26-point start.
