The TGV to Paris from the south coast travels faster today because he’s weighing down the north end of the country.

Bundee Aki leading with his forearm/elbow into a tackle again. He’s going to get pinged for that at some point.

He does it all the time. Forearm to the throat of the tackler. Admittedly the tackle should be lower but it seems to be a bad technique from Aki.

You could not make it up. Ireland clear out from the side at nearly every ruck and Gardiner pings Willemse for it.

He only ever appears on screen at scrum or because someone runs into him.

Where’s Benjamin Kaizer? I rate him as a pundit. He’s normally very fair to both teams.

Fair play to Ireland, they are doing everything they can. 3 is better than 7. France are ominous.

Irish tackling is very upright, plenty of hits that don't look far off collecting a card.

He plays smarter, not faster.
French did a caterpillar, and he stood way in front, waiting for the kick.

Still way in front after the kick was made, he made a desultory signal with his hands as if play had caught him offside.
Within a moment or two, the rest of the French team had surged past him.
