After the thumping they took in Paris on the opening night of this championship, Irish rugby appeared to be in disarray. But crisis talks were averted two weeks ago with a record breaking win at Twickenham and half-backs Jamison Gibson-Park and Jack Crowley looking far more galvanized. With powerful center Bundee Aki returning to the squad and their final two games to be played at home, it's all set up for the Men in Green to finish strongly as they hope for France to trip up. Conversely, it's all about avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon for Wales. After being outplayed by England and France, they showed quality and pride in a heart-breaking three-point loss to Scotland. That will give Steve Tandy and the legions of Welsh fans some sense of hope to avoid five losses from five in this tournament, although they will have to do without injured fly-half Sam Costelow for this one.
