France v Ireland

[mariner4life]

Just realised the Fench lock is the #8 who gave us absolute kittens in July

[mariner4life]

Tjat was soft for jalibert too

[MiketheSnow]

If France want this it could be a 50 point margin

[MiketheSnow]

France getting the bounce of the ball and the rub of the green

[Victor Meldrew]

Ireland very static on attack.

[mariner4life]

Bit harsh ref

[sparky]

Olivion in after some great passing.

[sparky]

France 20 Ireland 0

[KiwiMurph]

Beautiful rugby to watch

[Victor Meldrew]

This French team on attack remind me of the glory days of Rives and Jo Maso. Poetry in slow motion

[mariner4life]

Ireland are shit but France are fucking good.

Guillard is really annoyingly good

[sparky]

Ireland are being fucking mauled. France are dominating the collisions and are different gravy with the ball.

[MiketheSnow]

French backline being influenced by DuPont’s time in 7s?

Avoiding contact, quick hands, patient, often lateral until a gap appears

[JayCee]

France's 3rd try, scoring from a counter attack, like we use to

[antipodean]

Nice try. Good ball movement. Good appreciation of space.

Ireland look predictable in attack and France have read and defended that well.

[sparky]

France are playing like the All Blacks in 2012. Ireland are playing like the All Blacks in 2025.

Can the AB wingers watch that kick chase from LBB? Absolutely flat out but when he realised he was going to be late pulled up and tackled the guy as soon as he got it.

I thought the idea was to jog, let the guy have an uncontested catch and gain 10m

[KiwiMurph]

France look better with Jalibert at 10 than Ntamack

[MajorPom]

I’ve seen us dominate like this and be 3-0 up. Boks would be 9-0.

French game is beautiful, but by fuck Lady Luck on their side. Ball bounce, ref, everything.

They could do with watching every part of his game. Levels above AB wings.
