[2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: France vs. Ireland (13/02/2016)

[big ginger 8]

That was knocked on with one hand. Most refs award a penalty there, just looks like its not going to be our day really.

 

[TheOvalBall]

yeah, was surprised that wasn't a penalty.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Henshaw has been awful second half.

 

[TommiG88]

To be honest, Ireland lack leadership and offer little in attack.

Edit: who's that young 12 for Leinster?

 

[gaston le gaff]

Magnificent !!!!!!!!!! Tough on Ireland but France deserved their 2nd half performance

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What now Joe? Conservatism has failed rather emphatically. That's our worst loss since Italy in 2013.

 

[big ginger 8]

What a load of crap. Very poor performance, conditions, injuries and fatigue were clear factors but still really fecking annoying. Plenty of valid greivances with the ref, but we should have won, we had every chance to score in that first half.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Vive la France...

SO SO HAPPY !!!

Not a great game by any means, but this is great!

2/2 now, next up Wales.

 

[profitius]

Schmidt exposed as a bluffer.

 

[Bluemoon]

To be honest, Ireland lack leadership and offer little in attack.

Have to agree with you, the Irish attack is very lackluster. Although it's not mathematically impossible, you have to feel that's Ireland out of the running now.

Ireland ought not worry. Andy Farrell is on the way.

 

[big ginger 8]

Schmidt exposed as a bluffer.

Hahahahahahaha.

Brilliant. Brought tears to my eyes.

 

[Peat]

And congratulations to the French!

I never thought I'd say this, but it's a pleasure to see a French team that looks to be working its way back to strength.

67 passes from Murray according to ESPN, 30 touches of the ball for Sexton. Ouch.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Hahahahahahaha.

Brilliant. Brought tears to my eyes.

A bluffer is bull****, he definitely has lost his immunity from criticism in his last three games. If it continues like this in two weeks it's going to start stinking of Kidney.

 

[gaston le gaff]

France raw and young but the commitment is there and they are gaining experience every game Noves is going to be a proud man tonight

 

[profitius]

They wouldn't have scored in a brothel. But why pick some of the form attacking players in Europe when you can pick Leinster reserves. What other coach in world rugby would have done that? Thats just bizarre.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It's all right lads, Schmidt is just keeping his cards close to his chest so he doesn't get figured out before the world cup....

 

[profitius]

Ok, bluffer is over the top but he has been exposed as not being the genius that he was made out to be.

 

[JJFlash]

I only saw the last 5 minutes and Eddie Butler said something about it not being a good game, but who cares! A win's a win.
Two close wins, so the confidence will be building - now for Wales!

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I think that now goes to the top of the worst game of this 6N so far. Terrible both from an entertainment standpoint, technically terrible, AGES spent on scrums and awful refereeing. Not a single redeeming thing.
