Ireland v France 6N

[sparky]

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

[Jailbreak7]

@sparky Peaked too early??

[Bones]

How many wrong options has Dupont taken tonight too? Bizarre.

[Tim]

Another du Pont bungle.

[KiwiMurph]

Cripes Dupont talk about low % option

[Tim]

Confident that Schmidt can organise that kind of game plan.

[Jailbreak7]

@Tim Dont know if that is good or bad?

Do the ABs have a 10 who can direct it?

His decision making has been shit and slow. Looks to be on Mogadon.

[Tim]

Ramos looked like a Donkey. Has Ntamack provided any direction out there?

[Bones]

France look tired, maybe they got thrashed too hard after their poor showing against Italy and that's the issue?

[sparky]

Ireland spirited and composed. France disappointing.

[sparky]

All over. Big win for Ireland.

A few concerning performances for France.

Italy last week.

Squeaked wins against Wallabies and Boks end of last year....

[Victor Meldrew]

France went to pieces under pressure. 1st half was even, second half was even worse.

After Italy last week, have to wonder if France is as good as we think they are.

[Old Samurai Jack]

Two obvious points. The lack of jackaling by both sides, and the lack of taking fat man's ally to pull in defenders.
Both points are All Black problems so I can't see us troubling either side but damn..... they seem there for the taking.

They were my thoughts as well. Less so for Ireland

[sparky]

Not writing them off, but France were rather tame today.

[pakman]

French minds seemed to be elsewhere.

Irish disciplined and energetic.

But above all punished French for their sloppiness.

[Jailbreak7]

If we could channel a mix of ABs 2015 and 2011 vintage wed be ok...
