100% agree.  He is the wrong side of 30 as well which isn't great for a winger.  Larmour and Stockdale for me on the wings when both fit.

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 .

Rudi

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.

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

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