[2022 Six Nations] France vs Ireland (12/02/22)

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Just need another Hansen restart and a conversion and its job done.

 

[AlRums]

I must be the only one who thought I saw that get grounded?
Definitely close either way

No, I agree with you

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

how is that not a yellow card? what is going on?

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Why didn't they Mackattack it

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Shame

 

[TommiG88]

Beautiful from Carty…

 

[Bluemoon]

Why did France kick that away!!

 

[AlRums]

30 seconds on the clock and both teams kick away possession

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

I like Carty, but Irish dreams die in his hands.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Disgraceful pass

 

[big ginger 8]

This is both promising and incredibly frustrating.

I feel like I'm in a glass case of emotion.

France the better team overall.

 

[ncurd]

Fair play to Ireland would of been easy to give up at half time.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

WHY DID WE BOX KICK IT AGAIN

 

[Gavin]

Carty a la Japan 2019. Very disappointing from him

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Would you bet the farm on a French slam? I wouldn't. Plenty of life in the tournament. Losing BP for Ireland could be crucial.

 

[Groundhog]

So poor from Carty and Keenan at the death. Look I think we were reffed off the park in the first half, but fair to France, their pack was very good and a good win for them. Disappointed for us, but a better start and we win that. Think our team is still seriously loaded and they will improve from this defeat.

 

[Eleutherarch]

Listening on the radio to this. Just how contentious was the held-up decision?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Brain-dead play at the end,
Need a try to win so you put up a big Ronan-OGara-vs-the-Lions kick from your 22 with no chasers

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Tbh if we won that it would have been throughly undeserved. The kicking was shocking and absolutely baffling.

We needed a kick up the arse and we got it.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I think that whatever side you fall on with that result, most of us would agree how good it is to have a strong France back. They've been virtually absent for 10+ years as a major player and the tournament has been poorer for it.
