In fairness ireland should have won that in first gear how they nearly lost it was amazing

[Syferus]

What was that shîte about Sexton and pressure kicks? The season was on the line with that kick. That feels like a kick that will enter folklore.

he has blown a few in his time but that was fantastic kick in that pressure

[Dinny Breen]

Amazes me that if we lost that game people who have revelled in it.

Shit conditions. Shit game. Some finish. Clutch player.

[SHEEDY]

Johnny sexton ye boy ye. What a kick!!

[Capt Pat]

That was great. What a way to win in Paris. 

[TabClear]

Great pressure kick. Good to see the cheating French bastards lose. Already manipulating the HIA rule

[Over the Bar]

Canavan-esque from Sexton!   

[JoG2]

Great pressure kick. Good to see the cheating French b**tards lose. Already manipulating the HIA rule

The guilty sheepish head on the French doc!

That was unreal from Sexton. Some player. Christ but we never wear the favourite tag well

[Hardy]

Johnny Sexton  - approaching Ollie Murphy status.

[Bord na Mona man]

Sexton with a 42 metre drop goal attempt, or Sexton with a 32 metre penalty attempt. He'd nail the drop goal and over think the penalty.

The drop goal glosses over the fact that Ireland were muck against a French side there to be taken.

What amazes me is that people's doe-eye view of Irish rugby is such that rugby by numbers is so gleefully exalted whilst the soccer teams tactics take such a hammering. People can stick the boot in gaa teams playing unentertaining fare but the rugger lads can get away with murder so long as they win.

You're wrong trileac.

When Ireland lose playing negative rugby, the pariahs appear just as much as they do in any sport.

The biggest difference in press coverage through is that even the most cynical of Irish analysts still wants their country to win. GAA doesn't have that luxury.

At what point does the referee use common sense and say, this is a leg injury and it will be treated as such, Sexton was incredulous at what was going on, f**k the French, they got what they deserved and if a Doctor cannot tell the truth about an injured player he should not be practicing medicine at sporting events!
