The IRISH RUGBY thread

[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

[sid waddell]

That Kelleher try really was the rugby equivalent of Fifteen Acres stuff

Ross Byrne is a very rugby name

[weareros]

Looked dead and now back in it.

If you want real rugby names these days you have to look at Dublin hurling

Ireland incredibly are in with a real chance of winning this now

Maybe not after that shocker of a kick by Lowe

[Rudi]

Lowe going well, covering every inch of grass honest performance.

He can't f**king defend

What a load of shite lost by 2 points but never once looked like winning that. Pretty poor stuff

[sid waddell]

Pretty embarrassing the way we were just pushed back by the French defence on that last possession

Very little imagination

Burns clearly wasn't given a head assessment before the game.  To mess up one?  But being allowed to mess up 2?

You should have watched the game!  He was brutal and another crucial error.

Players running on fumes at that stage. It was always going to be difficult. Fine margins once again. Lowe scores in first half and it's 8-0 with a conversion to come.

Andy Farrell can't catch a break. More injuries today disrupting the team at the start of the 2nd half had an effect on the team. Lowe gives Ireland do much going forward and with his kicking, but he was poor again defending the 2nf french try today

[screenexile]

Played ok really wasn't expecting to be close to France but then they've struggled against us for a while so was always hon got be cagey.

Hard to win those type of games missing your 3 best players just ask Jurgen!
