Well done France, deserved the win.

Plenty for Ireland to learn from, which should encourage some thoughts about developing our game. Obviously you'd rather win, but sometimes it needs a loss to move things on.

Good learning opportunity for Prendergast, he'll improve from this.

7/1 for the win! Ironic that would be considered anti-rugby (and rightly so if it's accompanied by boring anti-rugby style of play (looking at you Ireland/SA)), but France delivered some pretty exciting play today.

No luck of the Irish for a change. Fun to watch.

I've just seen what happened to Dupont. A Welsh player got a 20 minute red for practically the exact same thing last night against Scotland U20.

Rugby doesn't do itself any favours with the lack of consistency.

Gardner was a disgrace. Bad enough the all round cheating but when you allow player safety to be endangered.....

Essentially, he waved Ire on to indulge in cheap thuggery the entire match.

Watching the Jac Morgan showreel in the run up to the game and we see JVdF attempt one of the most dramatic OTT head contact claims in the history of the game. Absolutely pathetic.

Strong run from Kinghorn or feeble defence from Wales? He made a lot of ground while Anscombe had hands on.

That winger with the HIA will be doing everything he can to fail it.

Edit: Not an HIA apparently.
