        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.

              @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.

                      Yuck France.

                      Edwards seems whatever you did in the week got lost in translation.

                        The commentary is horrendously one sided.

                          Good try, Ireland significantly better tonight. France haven't had much direction, and their ruck work has been poor.

                            Wonderful tactical kicking from Ireland had them in the right end of the field.

                              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.

                                  Statement performance by Ireland. Is this going to be their big year?
