20 minutes to go.

Ireland nearly in.

McCarthy has looked brilliant.

Ireland score off a driving maul. 29-17 with the kick to come.

France are big but ragged.

Crowley kicks the conversation. 31-17. Ireland heading to a famous victory in the South of France.

Ireland can keep kicking it out. France don’t have a functioning lineout.

My god I can’t stand Miles Harrison sometimes.

Billy Tell

France need to look at their selections. Some of those players are pretty average.

stodders

@Billy-Tell they are light at hooker and scrum half. And I don’t see Willemse playing again for a while.

stodders

@Billy-Tell Ireland don’t have 15 world class players. But they are much more cohesive.

MajorRage

Ireland are the best.

They are back!

Awful commentary.

Defense is about heart. French heart currently elsewhere.

stodders

France are still stuck in 2023 at their home World Cup. I think the QF loss haunts this group a bit.

Red card didn't help, but France looked like second best the entire game

Missed last 15 minutes. Ireland win 38-17. A bit of a thumping.

I'm up to minute 33, and yeah they're pretty shit. Lucu is no Dupont.

NTA

What shits me: every time they're is any form of head clash, Ireland ham it up to get the review.

Also: Peter O'Mahony is still a distinctly unlikeable fluffybunny
