[2024 Six Nations] France vs Ireland - 02/02/24

[AlRums]

That's 2 great touchline conversions

 

[Umaga's Witness]

It was but didnt he also get a hand on the ball? Only seen 2 angles though.

And did it get pulled back sfter the pen was kicked?(to touch), i thought it was it after kicked?

Yes, both of those things are true.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

French scrum is scary good

 

[Scotty]

Yes, both of those things are true.

Maybe the law has been changed? I mean i know now you can take a conversion but the try can still be overturned so maybe.

 

[Jimbo]

I'd say another angle will come out after the game there!!

And if it wasn't there is a case for a PT, swing and round abouts.

 

[AlRums]

Great work by Lowe

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Also, the world wants to see these teams play each other when it isn't their first game of the year.

 

[Bluemoon]

Great hold up by Lowe there, took the sting out of France.

It's one of the rules I hate in rugby union. Held up in the air, fine it's a maul. But then the maul being brought down and players not having to roll away just seems mad to me.

It was only a rule for a brief period of time, I think 2019 to 2022. I don't think there was every anything about a kick to touch outlawing a review.

 

[Jimbo]

Just allow Ireland to waste time.

 

[Jimbo]

Nice oppertunity for Ireland to waste another 2 mins

 

[AlRums]

Almost no kicking this half, borthwicks spreadsheet must be on fire

 

[big ginger 8]

Or go up by two tries I guess?

What are you talking about? They aren't kicking...Borthwicks Englend would destroy them both...obviously because you win because you know...kicking

 

[Jimbo]

Or go up by two tries I guess?

wasting time in the process it's smart but doesn't make it any less scummy, it's a joke the clock not being stopped.

 

[dirty harry]

So much passive defending by France, a lot of players plant rooted...

Very unlike a Sean Edward's defence

 

[McTallshort]

France are the new Wales

 

[dirty harry]

Its officially the Karl Dickson show...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That turnover was insane

 

[Saintjay]

Without Dupont France are looking pretty average. Ireland simply better all round.
