I agree, France should be down to 13 men at the moment

Standard of drop goals in this tournament is hilarious.

Conditions are not helping the quality of this game at all.

Hopefully we start to pull away in the 2nd.

1st half positives

The score
Scrum
Jack McGrath destroying their TH prop
Stander unbelievable amount of carries again
Henshaw nailing down his spot as the key player for next few years.
Our pack playing good stuff.
The game is dull and laboured though which is suiting us

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Well this is a poor game and France getting away with 2 carding offenses. France look like a team of cats, not working together at all. Ireland working as a team but a team that doesn't seem to have very much creativity at all.

 

[Groundhog]

God this is a wet fart of a game.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

This is rabbish.
France had a good few phases towards the end there but I still don't really have faith that they'll keep onto the ball.
They look like being turned over before they can find the winning combo with ball in hand. Hopefully Noves can turn this around with time.

 

[lentenbok]

Why is a man who can't read a clock allowed to referee international games?

They don't look threatening though. More going through motions

 

[Peat]

Glad I've only just now woken up to watch this.

For every game it's the TMO that calls it not ref. He can read but doesn't make the call. Can't always trust stadium clock. I think the ref doing fine myself.

Perhaps not threatening, but in the last 6 minutes there was some good gain-line through the fatties.

 

[profitius]

I've a feeling France will win. They've done nothing and are only 6 points behind.

Agreed but it all felt like pedestrian pace. It'll be interesting when Ireland begin to tire after last week but France seem so lackadaisical.

 

[Groundhog]

After seeing the shot on Sexton again it's ridiculous there was no further punishment.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What happened to our breakdown? A shadow of what it was last week.
