French power (and guile) beginning to tell. Ireland look like they need the breather.

[Puja]

France are fucking terrifying. They're the best side in the world right now and it's credit to Ireland that they're only 12 points down at half time.

Dupont sending a three-man miss-pass to the free winger from the back of a ruck was ridiculous. Like a cheat mode on a computer game.

France look at another level right now. Power, pace and fantastic skilful players. A treat to watch.

[J Dory]

Really like this French team. Have the 2022 tours been confirmed?

[francoisfou]

Encouraging performance by Les Bleus, although far from perfect - and they’ve just conceded a try. It ain’t over yet.

[Mr Mwenda]

Ireland posing questions France struggling to answer.

[francoisfou]

Defence is looking shaky.

[Mr Mwenda]

I see France also do poor kicking.

[fivepointer]

Great effort by Ireland to come back into the game. France did enough but were made to work very hard in the 2nd half.

[francoisfou]

Ouf! Got there in the end, but I was on the edge of my seat all of the second half!

Yep, odd that the last try was desallowed too

Villieres is a future giant of the game I find..

In Japan in the summer and against OZ and SA in november

So was I - but for a different reason! Well done France, a well balanced team with massive power up front and backs with real gas and footballing skills. Best back three in the 6N by miles. They will be very hard to beat.
A good comeback by Ireland but why oh why did they keep kicking the ball back to France in the closing stages, and why go for a three point penalty instead of the corner. Poor leadership and decision making.
Great game of rugby.

Ireland put him under a lot of pressure in the hair and we was poor, same as we mentioned in autumn

Other than that excellent

Duponts pass - Jesus christ almighty what skills

Yeah Dulin would be à lot better under thé high Ball...

Dupont is à freak...

So all in all Ireland don't have thé same possible strengh in the pack...
Wich has surprised me in fact...

[paddy no 11]

James ryan is playing terribly and should be dropped really. Truth told, I think Furlong carries the team. We need a good 9 also
