I reckon we will lose this one by like 4+

You look and speak like you'd groom a future French premier two decades your junior mate. You are legless in this argument.

When Jean-Marie Le Pen died in January you penned an obituary for L'Express calling him a top Lademoiselle.

You two need to get a room.

@Groundhog betting against your own team is wild, when are you having you sex change ?

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Nothing against Ireland but rugby wise I'm a bit of a Francophile and this French team needs to nail a definitive performance against a good team. This might just be that time.

7-1 is an unnecessary risk though. The front row across the whole 80 might be pretty influential here.

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Gutted by the Irish injuries, and very worried by this selection. Tommy O'Brien for the right wing, and Osborne providing cover from the bench.
It's going to be a long wait until kickoff!

Nah, don't like that French nonsense me mate. I think they should speak NORMEL like me!

In all seriousness, I am of course not hoping we lose, I just think the French are pretty well matched against us and were I predicting I think they'll beat us by more than 3. I worry about our sub front row, especially if we have to use any of them early on, and starting Osbourne in his 3rd (?) best position against a very very very good winger. I agree with m'learned colleague @Leonormous Boozer that O'Mahony is not that well matched for mega heavy packs like the French. I'd be like 20% more confident were Ringrose fit and starting with Aki, which is disproportionate, but I'm nothing if not consistent on this.

We'll see what we see, big yardstick for the French imo.

 

[Welsh Exile]

I make @Groundhog right. France will sneak this. It's a coin flip really though. Could go either way.

Big job for Osborne bs LBB. Our sub front row does not really inspire me but glad we've gone 6-2 with no Ringrose or Osborne to put on the bench.

The front row could be where we lose this game. Would be very fearful if all 3 played decent minutes.

And I think that Ireland will win,but with a very small difference
