Could Gusher stop calling Casey "Ireland's atomic kitten"

He’s been better than sexton. Same for Casey and Murray

France looking like the classic French sides looking for the moments of brilliance to break through. Just shows howngood Ireland are.

Nope

Narp. That passage just ground them down. They have been amazing defending the try line for 70 minutes.

Clueless tactics by Galthie.
Lol I thought he was in for ntamack
Sadly no. Which is why Dumortier should have gone to FB (where he plays at his club), Moefana to wing (where he played for Fra before), Ntamack to 12 (where he's played regularly for Toulouse). Just dumb management. Jalibert never plays FB and is not a good enough tackler to be exposed there.

How Hansen is not penalised here. Tackled and never releases. Holds onto the ball forever.

It feels very obvious to say, but he’s that good it’s worth repeating over and over again.

France can't keep playing DuPont for 80 minutes. This is silly.

France looking like the classic flawed French side not the terrifying force of the last three years. But thats mostly down to Irelands pack.

Kelleher had a decent game for such a long layoff.

It is becoming a problem because he is never subbed.

And that showed at that ruck where we had nobody.

Few lads have come of age in terms of squad depth for a World Cup here today.

Bealham, O’Toole, Casey and Byrne have all been absolutely superb.

Loads of others too, but there’s have been question marks over the lads above.

Yes, but 3 or 4 tries bombed on the line, we are going to get a lot better.

Frogs got one long range miracle

Fitness has not been an issue outside of
- Atonio who can't walk more than 5m
- Ntamack who was too lazy to cover the backfield

BTW: Moefena is a waste of space too. Totally anonymous again.
