The IRISH RUGBY thread

[From the Bunker]

Ireland should be too good for the French today. The French are very inexperienced.

Scotland as blunt as always. Scottish scrum half having a mare alreadu. They wont get a better chance to beat the Welsh b team

The sheer level of hype around the Irish team is season is worrying. We're going to Paris in the Springtime, even the poorest French aides are hard beaten in the Stade. This could go very wrong indeed if we slip up tonight.

The equivalent of the England soccer team regards hype.

Been a bit pish so far. Penalties and turnovers in abundance

Concussion as standard

Bundee Aki takes the direct route against teenager Matthieu Jalibert. It's a crunching moment and both players are receiving attention on the pitch...Aki is back on his feet, but the French out-half is looking a little more groggy and is leaving the pitch, temporarily at least to go through HIA protocols...Anthony Belleau is in for his third cap

I know we are winning but this is desperate shit. The only positive is the French defense.

You have to laugh at these rugby buffers

They deserved that fecked around all match against a very poor french team. Amazing how many times sexton misses a decisive sitter. Watch france stuff it up their jumper for 5 mins.

[lenny]

Yet again a Sexton penalty miss to cost Ireland a win. I dont get him at all.

You're right, he's useless lol

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Ok i take it back about sexton lol

[longballin]

Lol!! Deleted last post... some kick Sexton!!

[Itchy]

In fairness that was an amazing kick in those conditions
