Ahead of Ireland vs Wales this weekend, OTB Sports asked all of our rugby pundits this week how they see the game going as the Six Nations gets back underway.
After the ups and downs of Ireland's November series of internationals, there is some trepidation surrounding where Andy Farrell's team is at heading into the opening game of the Six Nations on Sunday.
Then again, after OTB's Ger Gilroy and Eoin Sheahan started an international incident with their assessment of Ireland's seemingly forlorn opponents earlier this week, Wayne Pivac has been encouraging onlookers to hold off on judging his Wales team until this weekend's game is over - for better or worse.
All week on OTB Sports we have been building up to Sunday's game with a range of experts and we can now tell you how they are all calling this Six Nations opener.
Ireland vs Wales | Here's how OTB's rugby pundits have called it
Brian O'Driscoll: Ireland to win by 3 or 4 points
Between Ger's disregard for the best Wales have to offer and the prospective difference Paul O'Connell will make to the Ireland set-up, Brian O'Driscoll had plenty to mull over this week.
