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

[Which Tyler]

I didn't realise until the other day that Guinness isn't used in the centre logo due to french alcohol advertising laws

With Guinness 0.0 existing, there's a fairly easy and obvious work-around if that's the reason

Eddie jones would have put le Garrec in 10 minutes ago

It's weird seeing an Irish 10 moving at speed and missing kicks

 

[Reiser99]

France not in this at all. Losing the forwards battle and looking rusty in attack.

 

[Bluemoon]

France need a score to wake up a bit. Both teams feeling quite lethargic, Ireland getting the rub of the green a few times. Not sure how I feel about a Friday game as an opener.

 

[AlRums]

Ireland been getting away with a lot of offside

This is a country that tried to prosecute F1 teams for tobacco advertising when they were racing in Japan and it was shown on french TV. It to the point they even seized a couple of team transport when they came to France .

Beautiful, lovely late change from Crowley.

Class line Beirne

France's defensive structure is gash, maybe someone should buy Edwards a Duolingo Pro membership or something

 

[McTallshort]

******* hell Ireland look a bit good although France are completely unaggressive

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Absolutely shocking attempt at a tackle there. Hell I'm not sure it could even be called at attempt, it looked more like he wanted to give him a high 5.

 

[IT157]

Lol at this Shaun Edwards defense!

 

[Saintjay]

Ireland looking steady. France could have 40 put on them at this rate.

He's gone. France going to lose the plot now.

 

[Bluemoon]

Wow, that French defence was awful on that try, disjointed, 12 became isolated, easy 2:1 for the young Irish 10.

 

[Reiser99]

Absolutely shocking attempt at a tackle there

Yeah, that was atrocious

There was an attempt?

 

[IT157]

Saw another head hit by France. Wonder if it will be reviewed.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a red

What's a red plus a yellow? Orange card and they send him off and pick someone else to go in the bin as well?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ireland by 100, just like I predicted
