Ireland v France 6N
-
France reflexes seem to be slow to react.
-
French D has been awesome. Kept them in the game.
-
This feels like watching the France of old. Ghastly mistakes, mixed in with the unbelievably sublime.

France's back three have been out of position quite a lot in the 2nd half.
Yeah they just don't look comfortable building phases. They'll do some really good work for 2-3 phases and look like they're building, then just start walking or doing random nothing moves.

Not convinced France are handling the pressure well. Playing scrappily and hoping something will turn up rather than earn position and points.

Ntamack floating around and adding fuck all doesn't help.

@KiwiMurph Yeah, not getting back to offer counter attack or a kicking option. Especially around 50 minutes in they couldn't counter attack or offer a good kick chase, despite some average Irish kicks.

He's been crap by his standards.

Their concentration, discipline and exit strategy have let them down. Just cannot get out of their own half. Previous comment about not handling pressure well iis spot on.
