@Jet Assume?
It's been Cam's for some time unless your name is Ian Foster. The useless fat fuck lost the ABs a World Cup Final by not picking Super Cam on the bench.
In the eyes of the great unwashed yes.
I have been on the Cam Wagon since he hit puberty.

Gonzo.
Fuck
Cammy Roigard to assume and retain the mantle of worlds best 9.
Choo Choo.
Not on this weekend’s performance

Just got the feeling that Ireland are in serious decline. Very lucky to win the Scotland game a few weeks back. Without their foreign born players they are very average, and those players are on their way out. Sam P really struggled and showed his immaturity at this level.

Ex England scrum half -
Holy shit both teams were trying to slow it down all the time... Barnes was barking at them ... I hope the refs keep at it and start penalizing them.
Some very nice stuff from France - Ireland have tough times ahead

Watching replay. Up to 25 minutes.
Fuck me the Irish love to have a whinge
Great to see traditions still going strong even after BOD and Sexton have retired
Either of you guys got anything to add about the game of two top tier nations playing.
Or just the above load of wank?

Sorry, I thought this was The Fern?

57 minutes done.
First 30 minutes looked like both sides had forgotten how to play Rugby. Lot of nerves, very slow play, accuracy down from what I expected from both these teams.
Suddenly things opened up in the last ten minutes of the first half, passes sticking and plays working.
Prendergast not getting the time or space he enjoyed in the previous games, and it showed with a few poor kicks and passing errors.
Dupont made a couple of weird decisions early but was just getting into a groove when he was injured.
France's backs are very fit - tackling low all game, setting up turnover opportunities through clear space or counter ruck.
Particularly noticeable were the counter rucks in the tram tracks off kick. They'd clearly identified Ireland's support on wide kicks (or the subsequent ruck) wasn't great, and loaded for that.
After that, add in some great skill across the men in blue and Ireland never looked comfortable
-
The injection of fresh forwards from France in the 2nd half proved to be decisive. When they got on a roll they ran over the top of the Irish forwards. The 7:1 split could have proved costly when Barassi went off, but they coped well. Bielle-Biarrey is some player.
The commentators were right about the lack of pace of the Irish backline.
Oh, it also seemed that Irish crowd are very selective when being silent for goal kicks.

POM with 2 no arm tackles so far, he'll be having an enforced rest if he keeps this up.
Yeah, they were neither a tackle or an attempted charge-down.

That was unreal!! The first half was intense and then the French just smashed them.
France's skills are so high. They all have good hands. They all tackle hard and accurately. Their lineouts are precise. Combine those microskills with the blitzkrieg type rugby they play where they just pour through and cause panic in the defence and they just overwhelmed Ireland. And their accuracy and hunger and speed on defence was something to behold.
Ireland's Achilles heel is the same as it ever was, they just don't have the pace or flair to score enough points to apply pressure to the opposition. And their depth is not great, the guy who replaced Lowe was a bit shit. Most of their bench is 40 years old.
France undisputed heavyweight champs now, the rest of us are chasing them

How the fuck did Nash's card not be upgraded as a red card?
