First try was a mile forward

Pass on the first try went backwards in fairness.

Nope, look at the ball, not where LBB was. Comes out of the hand backwards.

They just showed it on ITV . Well forward

[Capt Pat]

It was the pass before the pass that bialle berry got it was definitely forward. The pass directly before the try was probably ok.

Still a very disheartening display from Ireland in the first half.

Mile forward for the first try, Dupont knocked on at the scrum for the second. Not that it will change the result but it just killed the game off before it had even started. Not sure why he pinged prendergast either when it was a 50-50. The lads celebrating a penalty like we won the grand slam ffs

The scrum and the lineout, our big worries are about the only things that are functioning

I get that Ireland would struggle to match Ireland in a head on battle. But Gibson Park seems to have spent the winter watching videos of Conor Murray and decided to be him. It's horrible.

[RedHand88]

Well now.

44 - 5 is the record win for France against Ireland. That's in real danger of being broken

Yes. Have watched it back several times. It was the Moefana pass before the final pass to LBB. The final one looked forward as he was already on his way and caught it slightly behind him but it was okay imo.

Definitely looked like Dupont handled the ball twice at the base of the scrum for the other one, although the ball seems to have been knocked by the heel of a boot. Doesn't help when the ref or TMO don't request a second look.

When the last time Ireland never scored?

They have won none of those garyowens yet continue to do it. If that's directions from the coach then his stock is collapsing fast

[Wildweasel74]

Seen enough of Prendergast to see hes not the long term No.10. Putting him out to center he looks even worse.

[Wildweasel74]

Well there be no nil acore, looking worrying for a while.
