We seem to be able to play at a pace France aren't able for.

Maybe I'm being unfair, but he's not whipping it away like Casey did.

Miles faster than them at the breakdown

Good by Gunne there to play the arm

Only from Cammy. And he's not one to overhype a Leinster scrumhalf

10 is a gobby cunt, which is good.

Honestly not used to cunt not being changed to plum, makes using it seem a bit crude/coarse.

Bit easy for France considering they were a man down.

Irish 15 doesn't seem very threatening in attack.
Devine the 12 is a bit of a mentaller.

Seen enough to make my mind up about Quinn at openside. Big hype on him. Last week he carried well for first half but did little else. This week he's not carrying as much, but has outdone himself in his ability to still do little else. He's lumbering around doing SFA. Lazy fcuk. Game is passing him by.

Inexcusable for an openside.

Watch him though, he puts himself about well. Very decent player, Gleeson.

Devine was quite good, don't think his game will translate too well at higher levels though as he's not huge.

French prop got up, ran the long way around the breakdown, actually handled Gunne and the ref let it off.


Ireland really struggling now, look out on their feet.

And I assumed correctly that it was a wave of bandwagoners after the first Irish victory of the year.

Hope that wagon isn't too crowded there ...

Hi Sal how are you?

Keep an eye out on the weather for late Feb early March?

There could be a very cold spell coming to Europe. There may be an Elfestendocht in Friesland if this works out properly

Ringer could be out, another blow, depth being severely tested now, would presume it would be Osbourne to the bench if true.

Yup, will be odd to see Stu as the most skillful partner in an international midfield, bludgeon them to death.

Handy having Kelleher back for today!

The lack of scrums was great. Props were able to ball a bit and carry like mad yokes. ToT was good in the final quarter.

That was some game. The heart rate is only slowing down now. The two best players in the world lighting up Lansdowne Road.
So many good performances. Great cameos from the bench. Smart rugby under pressure.

It was the Irish injuries that worried me but this is a serious serious machine now under Farrell. They were not losing that match today.

Two best? Doris and Dupont?

I remember watching a France v SA test in the 00’s and thinking, even though we could beat them on our day at the time, there was no way Ireland could possibly live with the pace of game being played by those 2 together. Now we’re in a situation where you look at Ireland and think other teams can’t possibly live with the pace and intensity of game Ireland can bring.

Yeah, think Doris is up there now with Dupont. Absolutely dominated the final quarter.

We struggled at times to overcome their extra physicality but we definitely play a phase game quicker than France these days which is mad.
