The IRISH RUGBY thread

Rugby boys should bring in a good gaa player to show them how to block down  a ball always been a pet peeve of mine how they try block a kick .

Ireland playing very well after 20.

The talent pool isn't that deep. Rugby needs a feed from the Gaelic Football pool to be consistent.

Most Gah players won't win anything under Rex Dublinus.

Burns misses a penalty. Sexton is concussed.

Jaysus, after Ireland dominate, France get the try with a man in sin bin. But saw no clear evidence to overturn Lowe's try.

They had footage of his right foot going into touch before the grounding.

Very unlucky to be 7 down. Box kicks and general kicking game working well. Lowe unlucky.

Yeah, right foot touched the line but a great effort by Lowe - nearly made it.

Ireland be very disappointed especially with a man up plushaving loads of possession.

All to play for.

You wouldn't begrudge France a World Cup. They remind me of Down or Galway. Can be shite for years but when they get a team together they know what to do.

Think alls this Irish teams missin is a couple of French players

[Gmac]

Look at the French try when they are tackled there's a man on the shoulder of the ball carrier the tackled player gets ball in free hand and flips to player on shoulder they can do 2 things at once , when Irish player breaks and gets tackled he tries to get to ground followed by ruck slower ball and very energy sapping type of game , lack of pace has always been Ireland's problem too .

[thewobbler]

It's not a lack of pace, it's a fear of making mistakes.

[sid waddell]

With these sort of handling errors, Ireland should be sponsored by Kerrygold

[whitegoodman]

Lowe defensively is brutal, couldn't tackle a fish supper

[sid waddell]

Sensational back play by France

This splendid young French team is one of the few things modern rugby has going for it

Opportunist try for Ireland by Ronan Kelleher

Pure jam but they needed that and then some
