Ireland player to watch: Mack Hansen – The wing has been selected for his full international debut following a rip-roaring start to the URC
Ireland coach: Andy Farrell
Ireland enter this tournament with lofty ambitions and form to suggest they can go all the way.
It's far from a sure thing that France will rumble to the title despite their pre-tournament favourites tag.
Mack Hansen will add extra fire to an already bristling attack, while there are countless options for Farrell to choose from among his squad.
Ireland will finish: CHAMPIONS
