6N - France v Ireland
-
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.
-
France need to look at their selections. Some of those players are pretty average.
-
@Billy-Tell they are light at hooker and scrum half. And I don’t see Willemse playing again for a while.
-
@Billy-Tell Ireland don’t have 15 world class players. But they are much more cohesive.
-
Missed last 15 minutes. Ireland win 38-17. A bit of a thumping.

Red card didn't help, but France looked like second best the entire game
I'm up to minute 33, and yeah they're pretty shit. Lucu is no Dupont.

The reserve scrummie looked much better but the damage was done.
France (Lucu/Willemse/passive defence on Aki) handed that game to Ireland.)
On the other hand it’s nice to see Ireland learning from its previous RWC failings. Not sure if peaking too late is really an improvement though.
