Ireland v France

lbc2019

Delighted for Jack!

Worried for our backrow now

Vdf was cleared out with an arm right under his groin and was in agony when it happened.

Disappointing 10 mins from Ireland. 6 points left behind and red line fever costing us several trying scoring opportunities.

Burkie1203

Take the 3

bilston

Play the advantage!

sydthebeat

Have to take three

Strumms

We are camped in their 22, with French discipline looking shakey. Need to turn dominance into points though, only one score so far in no way reflects how dominant we are.

This game could suit Conan, a lot of space out there but VDF's workrate will be a big loss.

RWC 2011 when they were robbed by the officials

If you're talking about the tournament as a whole, they were hammered in the pools. They played with heart in the final, but not just good enough on the day.

Let's not forget they could (and possibly should) have beaten Ireland last year.

As bad as France are, Ireland just lack the ability to turn their dominance into points atm. Still a long way off where they need to be for this year's RWC.

France are gash. We need to score in case they wake up.

KERSPLAT!

Gotta come away with at least 5 here

dublinman1990

They have gone for the corner.

vienne86

Maybe the right decision. France on a warning.

joseywhales

This great, I don't care about not scoring, we are murdering them. They will die in the 2nd half

sydthebeat

Jesus Conor your killing us

Clegg

Hook Murray now.

That was a crap pass to Aki for his crash ball attempt. Then he was going slow at the ruck and had it slapped away from him.

NZ got every single decision in the final

Why do we always resort to the crossfield kick when we get a penalty in the red zone? Its so predictable, and its not as if we have shane horgan out there. Keith earls is too small to pose a serious aerial threat.

lawred2

We've been sloppy in finishing positions

Clegg

And it's pilfered away from Murray again!

AbusesToilets

Wish Stander would look to pass more, ball dies with him too often when there are players stacked outside

its_phil

The amount of bad passes Aki has received from Murray and Sexton today is a joke

lbc2019

The Murray bashing on here is something else. He was clearly fouled there

gooch2k9

What happend Sexton there?

dublinman1990

They are going for the corner again.

Murray far too obvious. Never going to get a yellow from being obviously cynical.

Strumms

Murray payed the ball deliberately but he made no effort to move. Should been yellow.

Clegg

I admire that we're going for the trys at every opportunity. But right now we could be 19 points ahead if we'd taken our points.

Yeah, but what do you expect

crisco10

Finally.

We saved France a yellow there

Larbre34

Frustrating accuracy. Trying to beg yellow cards by setting up camp will backfire.

A-Train

Go on Johnny get in

budhabob

Some pace on Murray's pass, with a lovely wrap around

vienne86

Well thanks god for that! Lovely try.

dublinman1990

Sexton. Yes!

What a well put try.

ednwireland

finally !

leakyboots

Yup, there's posters here I can sense willing Murray to mess up. A ball is slapped out of his hand from inside the ruck and it's Murray's fault.



Ringrose gets turned over twice with ball in hand and not a post about either

its_phil

About time

Perfect. Sexton needed that too.

Almost identical to one of the tries he scored against Northampton in 2012.

Should still be a card.

lbc2019

Heres Johnny

Clegg

Lively wrap around and soft hands from Ringrose.

eigrod

Great move. Brilliant by Murray

crisco10

Huget bewitched by ringrose there.

C__MC

If France are relying on the crop to win in 2023, utterly rudderless

sydthebeat

Larmours line there was fantastic

ScrubsfanChris

Wheres the yellow card?

3 penalties since the warning now

Strumms

Well deserved, 14 ahead, camped in the French 22 with them loosing discipline this is looking good.

Its cheap and lazy

conor678

Nice try that.

It's the first time I have visibly noticed the difference in the size of Murray's arms. His left arm is so much smaller then his right. It's quite shocking when you notice it

Murray is actually having a good game so far
