France v Ireland

[sparky]

Great comeback from Ireland. It was 22-7, now 22-21 after a couple of Irish tries. Some Test this now.

[Catogrande]

France in again. The pace that they put on the ball is impressive.

[sparky]

Try France by the Prop Baille. Conversion no good. 27-21.

Harsh. He's a prop.

[Catogrande]

Big call from Galthie. Dupont subbed.

[sparky]

Irish penalty. They go for goal rather than the corner. Over. 27-24 to France with ten minutes to go.

[sparky]

Jaminet with the winning try for France. 32-24 with kick to come. Three minutes to go.

my stream is behind, waiting to see if it is awarded.

Rocks in the head from an irish defender anyway - went to ground, elbows on the deck, scooped the ball. Clear penalty

[sparky]

Officials looking at this again and again and again. French crowd not happy about this and booing very loudly.

yeah, it's crazy thatyou drop on the ball you carry, but if your arm is under it and you can't see clearly it could be ruled out. TMO baby - just award in real time and let it run

No try. Ridiculous decision. French crowd not happy at all.

I'm not happy either, would be spitting if it was my team. FFS.

Penalty instead. Knocked over. 30-24 with two minutes to go.

if that decision costs them the game ...

[sparky]

Ireland knock on. France with the ball with less than a minute to go.

[sparky]

Ball out. France win 30-24. 🇫🇷

Impressive from them, again.

Only caught the last few minutes. They throw passes like the ABs used to - bullets. Creates space and time. Great to watch, allez le bleus

[akan004]

30 seconds to go and he kicks it away. Wtf.

[Bovidae]

A decent watch but this shows how Ireland's discipline is dependent on the ref. I thought Gardner had a good game and tried to let the game flow.

The Irish commentator seemed to have an infatuation with 19 stone men.

[cgrant]

The French forwards were impressive and won most of the collisions. They showed Foster what level of physicality is required to win a game against the top NH nations.
