Crafty Stan will be trading the Six Nations game between France and Ireland starting at 16:30 GMT on 13/02/2010. Crafty will be starting with a trading balance of 500 points.

This is the big game of round 2 with huge ramifications in both the Outright and Grand Slam Markets.

16:27pm We are about to get a start with the anthems and plesantries. I will watch for a little bit before investing today.

16:30pm Fancy a tight low scorer here myself despite the potential for the French to show some expanse. Small Lay of Over 38.5. 50 Points Liability Lay of Overs @ 1.98

16:36pm Couple of early turnovers. Nothing doing.

16:40pm Ok I am in now. Ireland looking solid early on so 100 Liability Lay of France @ 1.58. Score after 6 mins France 0-0 Ireland.

16:45pm Bright start from the Irish. Promising field position botched up and eventually we get a French pen. Ireland steal a line out and go back to their merry way. 0-0 still after 12 mins.

16:49pm Laid off the unders @1.33 just for a zero on overs. So now a position of +32.79 after commision on unders, zero on unders.

16:51pm Having held sway for so long Ireland are down to 14 as Healy is binned. 3-0 to France as the pen goes over.

16:58pm My timing and judgement is really frustrating me at the moment.

17:00pm Yet another penalty, this time for side entry. The french get a chance to double their advantage. They opt for the scrum instead...

17:02pm Penalties galore. Not many more scrums before Barnes gives a penalty try in my opinion. 3-0 France after 26 mins.

17:04pm Irish resistance broken. Another annoying sinbin does me again. I need a drink..! France go over. France 10-0 Ireland after 28 mins.

17:06pm The French lapse in concentration and Ireland get an immediate chance to get three back. O'Gara does the business. France 10-3 Ireland.

17:08pm Good job I laid that unders off.. Score-fest now.. French go over again and put a dagger through Irish hearts. France 17-3 Ireland. Wasteful performance from the Irish.

17:11pm Laying the French again. 1.13 is too short. 100 Lay at 1.13.

17:17pm Nallet turned over on stroke of half time. Ireland pen, they are kicking for the corner and a catch and drive.

17:20pm Ireland squander their chance. They had several chances to take three points but refused and went for the try. Eventually after they had slowed everything up and given the French plenty of chance to set defence, they knocked on. Pathetic. 17-3 to France at half time. My position on the match is  -113 France, +269.49 Ireland, +269.49 Draw (Before commission). NOT looking good.

17:32pm 2nd 40 underway. Ireland need an early score here I feel.

17:36pm France butcher a certain try by knocking on. Ireland struggling now. France 17-3 Ireland after 45 mins.

17:42pm Painful to watch. The unders looking good now. Just need some inspiration. I'd take O'Gara off for Sexton myself.

17:51pm Knock ons and forward passes are killing Ireland. Basic errors that I don't associate such a quality side with. Forget this one. Still 17-3.

17:53pm Make that 22-3, Kick to come.

17:55pm Kicked beautifully. Game, set and match. 24-3. Now hopefully to cut losses it will be under 39 points. 19 mins left.

17:57pm Great drop goal from Parra. Getting embarassing now for the Irish. 27-3 after 62 mins.

17:59pm Beautiful passing session one-two between Ferres and O'Driscoll results in a well worked Irish try. Too little too late I fear. O'Gara converts. 27-10 after 64 mins.

18:02pm Missed french kick. Can Ireland cause a scare here?

18:04pm No, they are playing like chumps today. Easy penalty chance now. Now he brings Sexton on about half an hour too late. 30-10. Good bye folks, hope you did better than I did here. Another game where favouritism doesnt change hands at any time.
