Arduach

That anthem is an abomination, like something written by and for primary school kids. Tall, call etc.

C'mon Ireland!

Burns execution last week both in terms of passing and kicking were poor. If he brings a bit more composure and does the basics well he'll be fine.

Tough to get thrown on with 10 minutes left to try win a game too. More time and being able to grow into the game should help with the composure.

I know Craig Casey is small, but next to Beirne he looks like a mascot.

Exactly what you want at scrum half.

C'mon Ireland!

Phil Coulter should have stuck to his usual Eurovision twaddle.

Praying for Ireland to upset the odds today.

Here we go people

Arduach

Nice touch Billy

Cluedo Monopoly

Superb touch by Burns

Morathi

Nice clearance from Burns.

Clareman

Good relieving kick by Burns

Faugheen

Remember people said Ruddock wasn’t a line out threat?

Clareman

Great steal in the lineout

Clareman

Nice snipe by Gibson-Park

Morathi

Penalty all day for that

Scratchly

Could have been a penalty. Stuck a mitt out but was never going to catch it one handed

Clareman

Pitch doesn't look great

Clareman

Silly kick

Faugheen

How was Porter the one leading the kick chase there?

Scratchly

Huge kick from Lowe

Clareman

Some poor kicking from Ireland so far

Clegg

Lowe really does have a cannon of a boot.

Morathi

Nice to see us using Lowe's kicking.

Clareman

And then Lowe does that, great kick

No chance. It was a ****e pass. Let off big time.

Clegg

Ruddock and Beirne have done a number on the French lineout

When he's concentrating, yes.

Larbre34

Right tactics so far, not a game you can play for 80 though.

UnknownSpecies

Ireland's rucking has been accurate and clinical, great stuff so far.

Was just thinking they can't do this for 80 mins

bilston

Some nice kicks from Burns so far.

Good pressure on their lineout.

Morathi

Disagree, no attempt to catch it, but anyway, it's done.

lawrencesummers

Shocking pass from Keenan

fitz

Too early to think POC had made a big difference in our lineout?

Clareman

Great French kick

Honestly yes.

Our lineout wasn't great last week

SqueakyKneecap

Ruddock and Beirne motoring nicely

Clareman

Small margins, we've historically had a good lineout, it only mis-fired for the past year or so

RugbyLover123

Lowe after having a monster of a kick to that side line yet Burns with a right foot kicks for touch at an angle? Doesn’t make sense.

Scratchly

Poor stuff there.

Clareman

Poor penalty to give away after securing the lineout.

thomas 123

Great camerawork there ...

Sanjuro

Outstanding camera work there

UnknownSpecies

Great camera work on the kick there. Ffs

Clareman

Got away with that, I think, don't know what the camera man was at

touts

Let off there. Poor by Ruddock. You have to hold onto the ball.

FintanMcluskey

Chap on the camera must have tripped on his sandwiches

The concern with Lowe is he'll go for too much and miss touch. Serious weapon tho when he gets it right.

Clareman

Some of the clearouts are just looking for someone to get their head in the way, players going in with the head down over the top of the tackle area. You'd wonder if teams will look to exploit that, finding a player willing to risk their head might be the hard piece.

Tbf we have that concern with our 10's as well.
