Ireland v France 2021 6n

Niallof9

Lads this has been ****e we have no attacking gameplan or shape. Farrell out.

UAEguy2020

Need to get somewhere within 30/40 meters of the French posts and eek out a penalty or DG.

Why are the crowd booing and whistling?

Feck

Clareman

We've gone back 2 meters by just passing the ball

Niallof9

Utterly crap.

Rugby4568

FARRELL OUT !!

ctrl-alt-delete

Well the last phases summed it up really.

Going nowhere and getting nothing.

degsie

Good finish, best team won

The Keller try put a gloss on the scoreline

awec

Clueless at the end. Just trying to bosh a hole. No invention whatsoever.

A-Train

Wooden spoon it is

Coaching team is going to under pressure now. Ireland look so badly coached.

Basics are terrible, attack is shocking.

Lineout has gone well.

Clareman

That last few minutes summed up Ireland, totally 1 dimensional

Pudsy33

Mike Catt p45 please, I have absolutely no idea what our attack is about

its_phil

Awful.

Mike Catt...where are we going?

Fair play to Ross Byrne, deserves credit for those kicks, but he has got to get out of the pocket.

pc7

Aw ballix, gutting.

Clegg

Zero idea once the ball went beyond Ross Byrne. I've seen set piece solidity, excellent defensive lineout work, accuracy at the ruck but zero attacking threat.

Mike Catt has to go.

Euphoriasean

Its was like they thought they needed to score a try. Why not just keep it tight when we got inside there 10 meter line.

We're kicking because we don't have any shape ball in hand.

Gibson-Park making fools of the teeth gnashers on here.

Thought Gibson-Park had a very mixed game tbh. I really wouldn't be using it as any defence of his selection.

We actually made it harder with the bizarre home crowd sound. He should be sacked . Like we were away.

Larbre34

We're just clueless when it comes to championship moments and even more clueless when it comes to fixing Shawn Edwards defences, for 20 odd years now.

yop

Can't see anything that farrell has brought to this team.
Basic skills , position and decision making leave a lot to be desired.
That last phase sums us up.

cantwbr1

Did the ref give any jackal penalties to anyone?

Rugby4568

Leo Cullen should be the head coach.

touts

Wooden Spoon decider in two weeks and Italy will fancy their chances.

Let Farrell finish out this mess of a 6 nations then he has to go.

It summed up why we mostly kicked instead.

Will take that given the week we've had.

TomsOnTheRoof

People can disguise it however so they like but that was a poor performance. Outside of our set piece play I can't see what the coaching ticket are bringing

osarusan

We were still doing the same thing in the 80th minute that didn't work all game.

rodge123

I think that last passage of play just shows why Ross byrne ain’t our long term solution either, just takes the standing still and shovels it on every single phase.
As someone said earlier, I think Catt is stealing a living on this coaching ticket.

Pearce was very average at reffing the breakdown.

The hate on here for some of the Irish players is incredible. Some people are just sad losers.

razorblunt

That was an embarrassing finish. Knocked back 20 yards, never broke their line once and then turned over.
Taking an age to get the ball to Byrne who’s standing so deep the defence can just come up and smother them.

magic17

Disappointing stuff but we gave it a good go in fairness against a good French team.

Have we considered bringing in some Australians? These South African and New Zealanders aren't cutting it IMO

The grimmest Irish rugby has been in the 21st century.

PTH2009

Balls

Overall a decent performance but just couldn't get the win, Italy out chance to get back on track

wingnut

Well that was depressing

BBDBB

Well that’s me kicking the cat, very frustrating

Lots of endeavour but nothing looking threatening

SqueakyKneecap

Died with their boots on after a poor first half. Thought that Gibson Park was immense at the end. Earlsy too even though the legs are dust.

Utah_Saint

Our provinces show great attacking rugby, but the same players at international level they look clueless

UAEguy2020

Even worse as they were there for the taking and we weren’t even that good.

O’Mahony is the man we can thank for being out of the championship, showed his superb leadership last week.

In fairness the French coach should be bulling.

How they didn't manage to kill off that game with 20 minutes to go is mind-boggling.

Gritty performance from Ireland but didn't look to have much composure or threat.

bilston

Surprised they didn't maul the lineout at the end.

But when they went wide, they just ran out of ideas after 4 phases. Good French defence though.

Disappointing

Clareman

We didn't deserve to win that game but we could have, surely when you've a 10m lineout you've a set move in the back pocket to either get a penalty or setup a drop goal, our maul was good all day, why not go for it at the end?

Cluedo Monopoly

Aragh who wants to win a 6 nations with empty stadiums anyway. Great chance for rebuilding and trying new players.

Faugheen

And it's a surprise to absolutely nobody that the best player in Ireland right now was the best Irish player on the pitch today.

He did have a mixed game.

But the nonsense hyperbole on here is ridiculously disproportionate.

Well done France, well deserved victory.

ArielAtom

The French are not as good as many like to think.
