[Rinkadink]

That's a great DG!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lovely box kick

 

[big ginger 8]

Ryan has gotten through so much work.

 

[Rinkadink]

Irish half back changes have been fantastic.

 

[Bluemoon]

Is there anything worse than the goal line drop rule? It favours the defence way too much in the red zone.

Yeah, the upcoming tackle height changes.

 

[Bluemoon]

Yeah, the upcoming tackle height changes.

And that's my weekend ruined.

Both sides pretty much spent after the first half exertion. The changes to speed up the game and keep the ball in play more are having an effect. If it continues we may see smaller/fitter players getting selected more often.

I cannot see France scoring more than 7 points in the last ten (probably zero) so any Irish score probably kills this.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Irish half back changes have been fantastic.

Yep, really injected some spark into the side
France clinging on with their fingertips atm

 

[Bluemoon]

Well poised this. There's a possibility of a dramatic French win if they keep getting out of these situations.

 

[Bluemoon]

That's the game!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

And there's the game

What an offload

 

[big ginger 8]

How the **** was anyone saying Faletau is better than Doris before last week?

 

[BrokenWing]

Some England class defending by the French there, three of them falling over each other.

 

[Groundhog]

Lfg

 

[Ddanno]

Who's the berk in comms going full Ugo

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

So many incredible 8s around at the moment.

And England have none of them.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It's an insult to Benjamin Kayser to make him do commentary with whoever the Irish commentator is, stark difference

 

[Rinkadink]

How the **** was anyone saying Faletau is better than Doris before last week?

Oh dear, was that really a thing?

Faletau has been a shadow of his former self for years, sadly.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

How the **** was anyone saying Faletau is better than Doris before last week?

Was anyone saying that? Faletau has been average for a while now. WOL & their readership doesn't count.
