2018 NatWest Six Nations: Round 1 - France v Ireland

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Fair play Ireland is going to get a massive confidence boost from that game.

Shame Italy v England is always a let down on the whole.

**** game but an enthralling final 10.

Well done Ireland

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Johnny is the GOAT

Very good of you to think of Wilkinson at a time like this. Sexton’s not bad though.

Always gob smacks me how few DGs we see now. You can’t pull off a stunt like that without practice. Lots of it.

 

[Groundhog]

If only he had Tom bradys wife.

Yeah well if rugby did rings he'd have a sexier bird

 

[big ginger 8]

Sexton's dick is bigger than the Eiffel tower.

 

[Chief Pete]

Reckon the French player who was standing with his arms in the air in celebration when the play was at the halfway line is feeling pretty gutted right now...

 

[TommiG88]

One extra thing.

Stockdale = poor mans George North

 

[Groundhog]

Johnny Sexton > The dissapointment of a person every English poster turned out to be.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Fair play to ireland and sexton not only for the DG but to go for that cross-field kick as well.

This aside, I have to say that this idea in ireland that Joe Schmidt is this absolute tactical genius who out thinks and out manoeuvres any opposition, is such incredible bullshit. It's unbelievable this idea exists in peoples brains.

To get that group of players to be comfortably third choice in the world? Aye, run of the mill geezer he is...

Had the perfect kick off as well.

Also you're wrong.

 

[Groundhog]

Why would France give the statue of liberty to America when its a far superior monument to the eiffel tower?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That crossfield was a thing of beauty,
The nards on them to even think of trying it in that situation is crazy

He's just saving his tactics for the world cup!

Yeh that whole last couple mins was just clutch.
The kick the catch the ball retention.

 

[big ginger 8]

So many beautiful digs in Schmidt's interview.

 

[munstermuffin]

Must say Earls doesn't get enough credit. Was excellent today again and his role in the crossfield kick.
The man is on form

I knew I'd get comments like that. Remind me where I said he was a poor coach? He's a very good one. By the way, you have a very strong group of players, and furthermore incredible structures and unity of purpose from the regions to the national set up.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Bad pen miss from France a few minutes earlier. That cost them the game.

Brilliant from Sexton, but Ire really ought to have been chasing a try - a very different ball game.

He's most certainly a tactical genius, he does alter his tactics from team to team, he's achieved an unprecedented amount of success with Leinster and Ireland because of it.
