[2025 Six Nations] Ireland vs France - 8/3/25

[dirty harry]

France had to turn up today and play, but surprised Ireland have been heavily second best in most areas, bar the first 10 mins or territory. It's like they emptied the tank too early.

Ahem 7:1?!

Losing your 9 early on hasnt created a nightmare scenario, it's constantly being proved effective

 

[IT157]

Have they?

Sorry, just the measly two...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Be interested to see that potentially high shot again

Assistant refs have been pretty on it so far so maybe was nothing

Looked high to me, but a horse collar kind of tackle

Are you 'Off the Ball' in disguise?

Having two miracle drop goals proves the exception to the rule. First SA game you were atomized.

All Blacks in the autumn. Now this.

Missing at least 4 starters today.

Didn't realise losing by 7 points is getting atomised...

Today's not good. It doesn't mean we're not solidly a top 4 nation.

Probably not considering I've never heard of it....

 

[Weldit]

Yoink!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a read, that's a real heartbreaker for Ireland even if a try would mean nothing there realistically

Wonder if it was more of a seatbelt affect than a high shot, especially based on the lack of reviews showed.

Chilli sauce on the cock of defeat

Ah, that's taken the sting out of my incredible joke. They are the podcast that said that Ireland would beat Wales with 14 men.

I think the scoreline flatters France a bit. They have had a few lucky breaks in this game.

Yeah, I thought seatbelt initially but he was down with the medics so (though did look a bit football with him making the sure the ball got away before holding his face and rolling round)

Develop some depth and stop putting all your eggs in Leinster.

This team peaked 18-24 months ago. Andy needs to completely refresh this team.

 

[Saintjay]

Well done Healy nice way to go out.

I got it bud...

Got a giggle in my household

 

[big ginger 8]

Silver lining, delighted for Healy.

Wooooooo pensioners unite

I think Ireland got the rub ref wise
