Can Ireland beat France?

by red_stag Mon 04 Mar 2013, 10:48 pm

First topic message reminder :

With France having lost three games in a row (Italy, Wales, England), they are now on the road to face Ireland.

One side of the argument suggests that France are "due a win" while the other says that they are on the ropes and a new look Irish side can add to their misery.

Can Ireland beat this French team?

OH FFS. How long is he going to take to say crouch, touch and set?

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:10 pm

Aye, he's slower than Justin Bieber going on stage...

Wow. What a massive drive.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:12 pm

The way they shifted the focus of that maul was excellent.

by wales606 Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:13 pm

Just keep doing that Ireland

Jackson can kick this week too

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:13 pm

Looks like the forwards will be key in these conditions then.

Gwaan Wee Paddy you can do it...

7-0.

by **rodders** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:13 pm

Just reward for all of Ireland's early play. Didn't think we'd see a try in this game! 7-0.

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:13 pm

Blimey, POC looked like an old man there!

by Guest Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:14 pm

GWAN PADDY!!!

Looks like Ireland will be heaping further misery on France.

Balls. Not straight. French scrum.

ergh i forgot about that tw@t of a ref's tattoo.

by **rodders** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:16 pm

Hells bells.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:16 pm

Pitch really cutting up now.

by ChequeredJersey Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:17 pm

Why is Michalak kicking rather than Parra?

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:17 pm

I didn't notice until you mentioned it - is it the stripe on his arm you mean? I wonder what it is?

Freddie kicking for goal. and he misses it! Should've given it to Para...

by **rodders** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:17 pm

Michalak to the rescue!

by wales606 Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:17 pm

Why on earth isn't Parra kicking

PSA is as bad as Leivermont

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:18 pm

Chilli! why didn't you pass that?

by **Notch** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:18 pm

Apparently the stadium announcer announced the try as;

"Try by Jamie Heaslip and conversion by Paddy O'Brien."

At a HOME game. I ask you!

Good grief! Hasn't the PA got a programme in front of him!? Just can't get the staff... Rolling Eyes

Mon dieu! France are merde again!

Is it just me or is the ref a bit camp?

Another free kick because the ref cannot be arsed to say "set"

by bsando Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:21 pm

He'll yeah they can! As a Scot I should want France to win so Scotland have a better chance of finishing third. But I want Ireland to win, they deserve to win after their unlucky game against Scotland and that immense performance vs Wales. Come on Ireland!!! Leprechaun

looking good so far!

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:22 pm

Thanks guys...what a daft tattoo. He'll regret that when he's eighty. I suspect that was something that came out of his stint in AA...

by ChequeredJersey Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:22 pm

Gotta be interference o the floor there

by mystiroakey Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:23 pm

France looking pretty basic out there.

by WillyGilly Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:23 pm

This'll be some kick...

by Barney McGrew did it Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:24 pm

Healy's doing well - 20 minutes in and hasn't kicked anyone Smile

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:24 pm

Awh gwaaan Wee Paddy! Kick for the posts...but dont pick your nose on telly Very Happy

7-0 at 22 minutes. A good effort, but just wide.

From a woman's perspective, how often is the referee the most handsome man on the pitch? #nooneforCaritobrownnose

by **rodders** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:25 pm

Take that Fofana!

Not even little Morgan or Michalak?

by Duty281 Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:26 pm

All the kicking, all the running, and all the pressure is being done by Ireland at the moment.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:26 pm

Hmm, knock on caused by lazy runners

by **rodders** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:27 pm

Walsh is a muppet.

Heaslip missed two tackles in a row there.

by Cari Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:28 pm

"The rhythm of Steve Walsh" as Butler puts it, needs to change!

by Morgannwg Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:28 pm

France must be the only team in the 6 Nations this year without a game plan. Anyone know what they're trying to do today? It doesn't much look like rugby.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 09 Mar 2013, 5:28 pm

From this side, Parra should be kicking at goal.
