Ireland were unconvincing 29-11 winners over Italy at Croke Park yet are Coral‘s 7/4 favourites to win the Triple Crown, England impressed in stages when beating Wales 30-17 and can be backed at 15/8 with Stan James, “no winner” is 2/1 at Skybet and Scotland are Paddy Power‘s rank outsiders at 25/1.
Stan James have eased Italy into 2/5 from 1/3 for the wooden Spoon and Blue Square have shortened Scotland into 5/2 from 11/4 to finish bottom.
