Ireland used their get out of jail free card against Australia last week. They fought back bravely to win at the death, and it bodes well for the rest of their Nations Championship campaign. They now face Japan at a neutral venue in Newcastle, and the -19.5 line is lower than expected. Japan scored a win over Italy last week, but Ireland is different gravy, and their forward pack should overpower Japan, forcing their scrum to give away penalties. We pick Ireland to win by at least 25 points.
