It's like the Wild West here with all this talk of saloons.

Thank god next week is a rest one.

Might give a chance for us to regroup and get Ryan back into the side. Don't see Henderson being available to us for a few weeks.

Definitely, need to get players back for the wooden spoon game against Italy

I see Lowe has decided to pack in the tackling for the second half

eigrod

Can’t get out of our own half. France bossing this.

Clegg

We're extremely lucky the French are making handling errors at crucial moments.

They're murdering us at the contact area. Getting offloads out at will.

Would have stopped blood

French butchering keeping Ireland in the game

Sinking feeling that this could get messy.

Helps protect against cuts and ears being ripped off, there isn't much protection available for head on head hits.

Lowe is so great going forward but defensively is shocking two missed tackles in the space of 30 seconds

awec

French mistakes the only thing that’s stopping them scoring now.

The Inbetween is mine

I genuinely think Casey would thrive in this game right now

Watch Aldritt for France with ball in hand. Every good backrow has 1 player who carries hard.

Who just went through between two defenders and offloaded

Doctors room ghost

French are slack enough today

lawrencesummers

The French bench is going to ruin us.

Lol you don't do scrums do you.

(Ps Freddie Burns LOL)

I feel like I woke up this morning in 2008.

Clareman

DuPont just handed the ball to CJ

I dont rate the coach. But he is a very unlucky coach ?

I think hes incredibly lucky to be in the job he's in. Ireland actually ha ve some talented players but he's failing to get the best out of them

Terrific kick

A-Train

Ireland going nowhere

Clegg

Our main attacking weapon seems to be hoping Ringrose can pull a bit of magic out of his arse.

You were saying? Your weird negative obsession with him is embarrassing.

Clareman

Great kick by Lowe

the immortals

We're in the French half, fantastic

Incredibly easy for France to defend. We've no shape, don't look coached.

Well done Lowe.

Technically great but he’s kicking it cause we’re going nowhere and that’s the problem.

Bar the missed pen what has he done wrong?

The first French try he was very weak when they stripped it off him. after last week he shouldn't have been picked.

Clareman

French mistakes are keeping us in this

bilston

Ireland went back 20 metres when they tried going through phases

Good kick by Lowe though

Please jack Carty...,

lawrencesummers

Chip over the top has been on after two/theee phases of carrying.

He is least inspiring person i have ever seen in job.

Suppose Kidney was like that.

Yeah, totally 1 dimension, he's taking the ball about 10 meters behind the line with no support so he has no option but to kick

Yeah I’m trying not to rush to judgments on the coaching but I’m failing to see what they are doing with the team.

That's not really a reflection on his ability at outhalf is it?

So much hard work out there with no end product.

Clegg

Earls has to do much better there. We were in prime position to make a huge net gain in territory and he whiffed the tackle

We're actually still in the game which is amazing. France haven't turned up either.

Bazzo

Has Pearce blown for a single jackal yet? Thought there were a few absolute certs both ways but don't recall any of them being blown.

They are trying to make them look average so none of them get picked for the Lions tour (not that it'll happen)

TomsOnTheRoof

Terrible kick by Ringrose. We had a 3 on 1

If I was putting a bet on this minute it would be that we lose 4 of the 5 games, and only win the Italy game as they're incapable of beating anyone.

FixdePitchmark

Who is 6 lads . Guy can literally hardly run ?

Clareman

Why do we pass the ball before we commit the defender?

A-Train

So so poor. The basics are gone to pot

awec

Ross Byrnes game would improve immeasurably if he would take 2 or 3 more steps toward the line before passing it.

Clareman

Lowe was poor there, we were lucky to get away with that

Why does JGP play for Ireland?
