Weird decision to have the game on a Thursday night.
Yeah what's with that? Anyone know?
So it doesn't clash with the Winter Olympics ceremony.
What's up with Aki and Henshaw not in the Ireland squad ? injured ? McClosky is a good substitute to be fair.
In saying that France by at least 15.

Aki suspended isn't he?
6 game ban, 2 were suspended, missing 3 6N games. And he's about 35 now.

will be watching in a pub in Dublin this evening, keeping my voice down and not overcelebrating when France destroy the Irish. Genuinely don't know enough about Ireland's front row, will be interested to see how they go.
France should win easily but they don't like it up 'em and Ireland are just a pain in the arse, if Ireland can keep it close then I worry for the England game against both.

France's depth at prop isn't as good as the Top 14 hype suggests, but Ireland don't have Porter or Furlong. Both 6:2 benches. Stockdale back from the cold ahead of Lowe.
McCarthy, O'Toole and Clarkson are also missing in the front row. Fortunately for Ireland, France's main weakness is at prop as most of the Top 14 and ProD2 props are not French.

@Dodge Nah, just let it all out Dodge, we won't mind! No one here expecting much from this Ireland team anyway. The French will be unstoppable against this Ireland team with Prendergast at the helm. I can see an intercept try or two from his risky passing.

ITV are fucking painful
Those anthems were like 4 pissed up pals on the way home

What's up with his voice? Has he been sucking in helium or is something wrong with my TV?

His voice and the bilge that emanates from it hasn't changed. It's still crap.
