I always felt they should have picked him. Lotta competition in that spot though.

Helped by Ntamack walking across the backfield he was meant to be covering.

Dunno about the droppy option, seems a bit of a copout when you are 9 points down

Smart move by France there, and now Jailbait will have them hunting for the try

WTF. If Jalibert is on. make f**king Ntamack move to FB, Better still, move Moefana to wing, Dumortier to FB and Ntamack to 12.

Yeah, it’s not about how good Lowe is, it’s about how good the AB selectors thought the other dozen wings and fullbacks on that level were.

Beauty from Casey. We look like 13 vs 15 in attack, France bossing phase play

The slow ambling run to the left and then flopping weakly into contact by Hansen is starting to grate.

Irish forwards convinced that if they keep doing the same thing over again near the try line it will work.

Ireland not being clinical enough in the 22 - could come back to haunt them.

Ireland leaving 3 tries over the line so far.

Hope it won't cost the match.

At least Casey is quicker.

Keenan probably motm again.

They’re illegally slowing down our ball over and over - no SH ref would tolerate that
