France v Ireland

Lucky to get away with no arms there

[MiketheSnow]

That should have been a YC

Do you have a bet on a YC or something?

Doris has taken some shots tonight.

France 13 has butchered some opportunities

He should've gone the sideline and his winger cut back in behind him.

[mariner4life]

Fuck it's nice seeing a team use their backs out wide.

[antipodean]

PoTM voting and for me it's down to two Frenchmen: Guillard and Jalibert. But I'd go the forward given his work has given Jalibert the room and opportunity to make his backline look good.

One arm on the floor is not a tackle

[mariner4life]

Guillard has been huge. Ramos good too.

We need some wheels in the Allblacks backline pronto.

It's not just wheels. Skill level leaves ABs backs for dead.

And a 10 that takes the defence on at every opportunity.

Great finish from France. Scoreline better reflects the game now

Not every penalty is a YC

Word for word 100% agree

[antipodean]

Scoreboard says 20 points, but France were orders of magnitude better than Ireland tonight.

Good game to watch to start the 6N. Reasonably well ref'd too - hopefully a marker for the rest of the comp.

Just love the ball movement - holding the ball, taking the line on, passing…what the ABs used to do before we thought rugby was a game you played by giving the ball back to the opposition.

[MacDazzler]

France at full strength would beat us right now very comfortably in NZ.

They have a 10 who actually takes on the line and doesn't kick the ball away for the hell of it. Their speed and skillset is so much better.

Ireland were better in the 2nd half but I think they're in for a rough period over the next 12-24 months.
