Good pickup poor hands later. Ffs

4th or 5th knock on from Stockdale there? Shocking stuff. Has killed momentum twice now since the Henshaw try.

As sad as it is Sexton is close to the end of his time as a test player. His physicality is still top tier, but he's now making errors he hasn't made since he was in his early 20's.

Did someone lather stockdale's hands in butter or something, absolutely nothing going to hand for him

Skeetur

Way too late to be changing half backs. 10 minutes left to try get 2 tries. Pointless for anything other than exercise.

Soapy hands Stockdale

Fending with your opposite hand is never a good idea

Stander's been our best forward by an absolute mile.

Himself Beirne and Ryan have been huge. Healy has had a good game too.

Stockdale is having one of those nights

This needs to be stockdales last game in green for a long time. This is a career going up in flames. He couldn’t catch a cold

KH25

Stockdale again. That’s just embarrassing now.

A-Train

Stockdale again. A real Halloween horror show for him tonight

May as well persist with Kelleher once he regains fitness. All our hookers have problems with their darts. He has the best open field game.

Look out for Dan Sheehan. Watched him play AIL with Trinity and Lansdowne. My tip for Irish hooker.

Ntamack is so good.

Mistake after mistake after mistake.

TomsOnTheRoof

Beirne, Ryan and Stander were good to very good. The rest were ****e.

Replacement front row showing why they're the replacement front row there

A win would have only papered over the cracks. Time for a clean out.

Squidgy Black

There's nothing more to say really. No cover in the backfield, absolutely pedestrian to try and cover across.

A-Train

How many tries have come from Stockdale errors. It’s terrible for the lad but he has been dirt.

RonaVirus

2 converted tries, no problem.

touts

Who is the Lineout coach? Do we even ****ing have one?

Clegg

Stockdale flew out the line and missed the tackle.

AbusesToilets

Too damn easy. Set pieces have absolutely killed us

thomond2006

Dupont and Ntamack are going to be terrifying if they stay fit.

France will only get better as the next few months go by. Put a tenner on them for the World Cup

Jesus we won our own lineout!!!

Should have had one after the World Cup. Was the perfect time for a reset.

typhoony

To be honest there's been mistake from most of the players there's not one area of the game where we haven't made at least a couple of mistakes, maybe Joe's Conservative approach would have been more suited to beating this French team

One can only hope. F*ckng weird to say another three scores against us would be a silver lining.

[obviously I don't mean this, but I am incredibly frustrated and don't like this English side winning anything]

Keenan didn't put a foot wrong. And I thought Aki & Henshaw put in a good shift. Too many others let the game pass them by..

shane.

Spends too much time shaking his head and whinging these days

fitz

We were absolutely capable of beating this French team by 7. We've blown so many attacking opportunities. I know the ball is greasy, but we've put ourselves under all sorts of pressure. Lineout is a real concern.

Zebo decided he didn't want to play for Ireland. Constantly bringing it up will make no difference

c.p.w.g.w

Johnny not happy being hooked

Well maybe he should have performed better, all the "game management" doesn't help Irish players, sexton maybe plays 10-12 games a season for leinster

Ireland, old and slow. France, young and quick.

Christy42

Stockdale at some horrific game. Seemed to summarise Ireland. Plenty of good but too many horrific mistakes.
