Skill levels of the highest order from both sides

[MiketheSnow]

France on top at the maul

Irish sent to the bin

[MiketheSnow]

That must be obstruction

[MiketheSnow]

Clever, but too clever

No try

Waste from France

[MiketheSnow]

Great first half

France should have had breathing distance

Ireland 14 - 17 France
Halftime

[MiketheSnow]

France have turned the game on its head with two quick tries at the start of the second half with the Irish still down to 14

Ireland 14 - 31 France

[MiketheSnow]

Can't see Ireland coming back from this

French 9 MOTM already

Player of the Tournament for me

[MiketheSnow]

That's it

France like the tide

You can't stop it

But should have been disallowed for leading forearm into contact by the try scorer

Ireland 14 - 36 France

Blindside goes the distance

French U20 seriously impressive. Their 9 looks a star to me.

They ain’t playing. Everyone playing for second at U20 and at the RWC.
