Ireland v France match thread

[Duff Paddy]

That was crossing by Bealham

[Punter15]

Good to see Techno Viking in the front row. Always wondered what happened to him.

[Kawazaki]

RTE crucifying Barnes for the yellow. The replay is textbook red. Barnes has been good overall but that was a shocker

Said in a voice so high-pitched only dogs can hear it.

[RodneyRegis]

Oh ffs how is that not crossing.

[Duff Paddy]

Doris is absolute quality

[not_english]

Barnes not fussed about blowing the whistle any more

[Torquemada 1420]

Give Dumortier the FB slot.

[tc27]

How many obstructions are Ireland gonna get away with?

[lemonhead]

Penaud's greased up again at HT, we can't lay a finger on him

[Duff Paddy]

This is too loose for us

[I like neeps]

Has Barnes just decided offside obstruction is legal now?

[bogbunny]

Beirne looks baad

[Duff Paddy]

Beirne injure fuucccckkkk

Two weeks to recover

[C69]

How many obstructions are Ireland gonna get away with?

Another 10 I'd say

[RodneyRegis]

Beirne completely taken our by his loose-head fucking about all over the floor.

[Torquemada 1420]

Penaud's greased up again at HT, we can't lay a finger on him

That was Dumortier.

[diarm]

That’s Beirne gone for the season I’d say.

[TheFrog]

Irish runners obstructing French defenders...
Neck roll at the ruck...

[Duff Paddy]

That’s Beirne gone for the season I’d say.

Looked bad but you never know

[lemonhead]

Penaud's greased up again at HT, we can't lay a finger on him

That was Dumortier.

You mean there's two of them?

Faaark

[Duff Paddy]

We look spent

[RodneyRegis]

And 3 Irish men offside at the turnover ruck.

[Duff Paddy]

Dropping off tackles everywhere

[bogbunny]

Clocker having some match

[C69]

McCloskey had a knee on the ground then.

[Frop.E]

McCloskey had a knee on the ground then.

Yep, but Frances initial turnover was won illegally.
So balances out.

[MrMojo]

How many obstructions are Ireland gonna get away with?

It’s like peak All Blacks, running around on the wrong side with arms in the air.

[lemonhead]

Advantage France.

Not Byrne, just our energy. Need to weather this now

[diarm]

McCloskey had a knee on the ground then.

He did, but should’ve had the penalty before that if Barnes was standing anywhere near the action.

[Duff Paddy]

Hansen having a terrible game

[Kawazaki]

McCloskey never showed clear release and then went straight into his hands before the ball.

[RodneyRegis]

Irish caterpillar :(

[PCPhil]

I apologise

I thought I was watching a great match but according to some it’s a cheating spectacle with a bent ref. Get a life.

[Frop.E]

Well, here is where we find out if Ross is as good as people say he's gotten.

Hansen playing like shite.

[Duff Paddy]

France on fire

[The Druid]

French cheating they have four Penauds on the park.

[Torquemada 1420]

Penaud's greased up again at HT, we can't lay a finger on him

That was Dumortier.

You mean there's two of them?

Faaark

Villiere-Danty-Fickou-Penaud-Dumortier
would be as good as any backline in world rugby.......... but we'll never see it and if we did, Ntamack would cripple it anyway.

[Duff Paddy]

McCloskey never showed clear release and then went straight into his hands before the ball.

Waaaaaahhhh

[lemonhead]

I apologise

Agreed, sounds like we should be 50pts down. And something about us being shrill as well.

Maybe Higgins should come on and concede for the good of rugby.

[Duff Paddy]

Their backs are on another level
