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

[Gavin]

Why isn't this match on RTE? I wanted to have a different commentary.

Do they only have the Ireland home matches?

 

[Groundhog]

Yeah true

They should just get Keyser in everywhere to be the non anglophone for every network tbh. Man is universally loved

 

[die_mole]

France needs to be sexier in the second; this power game is boring

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Not sure what Sexton could do with the way the French pack are playing

Put us in far better positions and give the opposition a far more difficult time defending.

I'm not saying we'd definitely be winning with him but it's impossible to deny we're making mistakes that we usually don't and playing far more predictable and inaccurate rugby. Missing one of the best to ever do it will make that happen.

They have a split deal with Virgin

Dupont really is some player. That pass off the left for a break down the right wing was ridiculous.

What the **** are those tattoos on Gareth Thomas fingers? Looks like they've been scribbled on with a sharpie

What I'd do for England to have a Dupont

I'm glad we don't at the moment, be a waste of time EJ would never pick him.

I've said before: Sexton is to Ireland what AWJ is to Wales - there isn't really anyone to replace him.

Lol virgin

Mistakes, inaccurate play etc is because Ireland are under pressure and getting no decent ball. Physically they are not at the races. 1 lucky try otherwise its all France. God knows who can stop France if they keep playing like this

Probably play 11

 

[Groundhog]

Lol virgin

I've been done in. Man enough to accept that

Like any other talent the England set up would hammer any creativity, agency and soul out of them.

I think we could bgo back and forth all day on this but being quicker and more accurate while always making the correct decisions is what Johnny brings to the game over Carbery. Otherwise why would you pick the older, slower guy who isn't massively more technically gifted.

Agreed, Legend™ . Also a point to note is when the defence is indecisive they simply can't rush up as fast because if they make the wrong decision they'll make gaps and create space. Joey is far too predictable and slow and makes it so easy for them to rush.

Or getting massively frustrated and ****** off refs which he has been guilty of in this type of game a fair few times.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Can we stop ******* box kicking what is this?!

Yeahhhh I think we gain out of missing our best ever player.

Christ wept, most over hated player ever.

 

[Rinkadink]

Soft penalty.
