Ireland v France 6N

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Yeah, not getting back to offer counter attack or a kicking option. Especially around 50 minutes in they couldn't counter attack or offer a good kick chase, despite some average Irish kicks.

France's back three have been out of position quite a lot in the 2nd half.

Yeah they just don't look comfortable building phases. They'll do some really good work for 2-3 phases and look like they're building, then just start walking or doing random nothing moves.

Ntamack floating around and adding fuck all doesn't help.

He's been crap by his standards.

Ringrose in.

That's the game.

[Bones]

Yuck France.

Edwards seems whatever you did in the week got lost in translation.

[Steve]

The commentary is horrendously one sided.

[Tim]

Good try, Ireland significantly better tonight. France haven't had much direction, and their ruck work has been poor.

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful tactical kicking from Ireland had them in the right end of the field.

[Jailbreak7]

Their concentration, discipline and exit strategy have let them down. Just cannot get out of their own half. Previous comment about not handling pressure well iis spot on.

[sparky]

Kick over. Ireland 32 France 19 with six minutes to go.

[sparky]

Statement performance by Ireland. Is this going to be their big year?

[Jailbreak7]

@sparky Peaked too early??

[Bones]

How many wrong options has Dupont taken tonight too? Bizarre.

[Tim]

Another du Pont bungle.

[KiwiMurph]

Cripes Dupont talk about low % option

[Tim]

Confident that Schmidt can organise that kind of game plan.

[Jailbreak7]

@Tim Dont know if that is good or bad?

Do the ABs have a 10 who can direct it?

His decision making has been shit and slow. Looks to be on Mogadon.

[Tim]

Ramos looked like a Donkey. Has Ntamack provided any direction out there?
