[big ginger 8]

3rd Lineout lost P'OC will be disgusted.

 

[lucky number 7]

Ah lads... Sean off? He was playing a stormer.

 

[big ginger 8]

Go on Fez you sexy beat ya.

 

[big ginger 8]

RO'G Sexton axis again. O'Gara and Picamoles on together not good sign.

Perfectly legit by Kearney there.

 

[ckell]

A heartbreaking defeat seems inevitable.

 

[Seaton]

Beauxis you beauty.


Now why the hell does that stuff pull off against Scotland?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Two shocking DG attempts - Parra should go for the next one

 

[TNT88]

End of the game I know...but France are going right off their feet, ref kinda lost control.

 

[big ginger 8]

The amount of sealing off there.

 

[TNT88]

If Ireland are smart they'll do it for the next two mins. Ref wont call it.

 

[Seaton]

Two shocking DG attempts - Parra should go for the next one

To be fair, on reflection the scrummies passes were poo

 

[big ginger 8]

​**** pearson!!!

 

[Seaton]

The anticipation, both sides could win this with a long penalty...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Good defence by Ireland at the end,

Draw is probably the right result, on the whole.

 

[big ginger 8]

Why couldn't we ****ing score.

Great game by Ferris. Sexton was rock defensively and Kearney overall was really good.

 

[Jockstap]

Heartbreaking.

 

[big ginger 8]

At least I had Tommy Bowe in my fantasy team.

 

[Big Ewis]

WHAAAAAAAAAT ?!! NO !!!!!!!!!
Ireland, you damn leprechauns, you'd already lost stupidly against Wales even though you should've won it so your chances at the grand slam were over, but WHY WHY DIDNT YOU LOSE THIS GAME ?!!!
Ahemm....just kidding, I love Ireland. But screw this...a tie ?!!!

Kearney was absolutely...well...Superman.

 

[killer08]

ireland once again were their own worst enemy, too many penalties, but still happy with the result as france gave everything in the second half, rory best had an awful match in the lineout, keith earls did well,

 

[Feicarsinn]

If you'd offered me a draw before the game I most likely would have taken it, but once again the performance leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. That was a poor French side. We should have won. We had both the territory and possession to do so, yet we didn't even score in the second half.

We created nothing out wide, I wouldn't have even known our centres were playing such was their anonymity. Murray is too slow for international rugby. The difference in terms of go forward ball when Reddan came on was staggering. D'arcy isn't good enough any more and Earls isn't a centre. Both didn't do anything noteworthy with the ball. Heaslip was poor, as were the second rows. The front row held up well in the scrum, but Best should be annoyed with his throwing performance and Healy should have walked in the first half.

A win today would have papered over another uninspired, unimpressive performance. defensively were were good, but we're absolutely useless with the ball. Changes must be made.


In summary, France and Ireland are both **** poor, Dave McPherson is an idiot and Rob Kearney is a god.
