[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 708437, member: 45598"] 4 years ago many would have probably thought Ireland would go to the World Cup with Earls and Fitz as starting wingers so of course both are moved to centre! As as for the game, which I'm going to have to watch back as memory of yesterday is failing me... It was a very sound and relatively comfortable win, after Lopez missed that conversion it was easy to tell they wouldn't get over the line again. Sexton and co built the lead very well, the kick chase being the best in the world and the defence was incredible. The French lacked creativity and apart from Basta running at Sexton, leading with the head every time which was a bit rough, they showed very little structure. Lopez looked as if he was making it up as he went a long and did so quite well. Ultimately the better coached side won, there's no difference in the quality of players between the sides. [/QUOTE]
