Bethells 80 Powers England To Win Over Ireland

Paddy Power is offering new customers enhanced odds of 40/1 on Ireland or 80/1 on England to win their Six Nations clash in Dublin on Saturday evening. The promotion applies to the opening match of the tournament, where Ireland seek a third consecutive championship while England aim to spoil their hopes.

England's 2024 campaign was inconsistent, with losses in Edinburgh and Paris but a crucial victory over Ireland at Twickenham that denied the Irish a second straight Grand Slam. Head coach Steve Borthwick has made bold changes for the opener, naming twins Tom and Ben Curry as starting flankers for the first time and handing the captaincy to Maro Itoje, replacing Jamie George.

Ireland, meanwhile, are under temporary coach Simon Easterby as Andy Farrell prepares to lead the British and Irish Lions in Australia this summer. The Irish squad remains experienced and talented, aiming for an unprecedented third consecutive Six Nations title.

This match marks the first Six Nations game without Owen Farrell or George Ford in the England squad since 2013, and their first away game without the duo since 2011. The promotion is available to new customers, with terms and conditions applying.
