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

Jeez looks like France are becoming the new ABs. Will winning a WC on their home turf be the start of a World Rugby dominance for the next wee while?

He missed some very obvious things that halted Irish momentum
But France were by far the better team
They had Plan A and Plan B
That's why they won
Once the Irish fancy passing didn't work they didn't have an alternative
