Can Ireland beat France?

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?

Spoond rodders? Or comb?

surely a tackle in the air?

She's pretty much known as Mrs BOD in Ireland.

Really? What TV show is this? Over there she's an established actress, author and has a clothing range - some of that long before she met BOD. I only knew about that from reading the Irish press.

Murray and Ferg off for Reddan and Fitz. Wouldn't have had murray off and Earls has had a quiter game than ferg but that's a coin toss.

apparently we're not allowed penalties at the scrum anymore?

Reddan has just cost us the game.

Very surprised at Reddan's coming on. Murray has been pretty good today- a couple of bad decisions but pretty good overall.

Mike Ross looks knackered. God forbid Archer comes on.

Jeez redan really?

Ireland could still lose this game...

It's really belting down there now.

Parra's service had been pretty pants.

O'Driscoll to the rescue!

Actually it was Marshall!

or maybe not! lol

As soon as she got popular she tried to get into the UK, she did loads of plays etc, and is in the BBC show 3some.

She has written quite a bit but isn't really nkown for it.

Not that any of this matters

Superb turnover from Luke Marshall there. He's had a very solid outing today so far

McFadden had just made two bad mistakes, and he looked to be injured, which might be the reason he made the mistakes.

Why is Kidney making these sustitutions?! We are only one score in front!!!!!!

Bast needs a bigger run up!

France scrum is a testament to how niaive teams are to actually try to play ball from there...

As much as noone wants to see it winning the penalty is far more effective at the scrum than using the ball.

nathan

Bast couldn't handle a bigger run up, he'll be blowing before contact!!!

why hasnt it stopped, it looks to be a neck injury???

Amazed we were still seeing play there, but even more amazed France didn't score

BOD looks feiced he can't walk...

sorry but everything you say kisses ass, it annoys me You're Welsh not Irish!! Stop licking Irish Ass!!!

Okay... bad conditions, but France are so so so so so so awful. This game is horrendous. Oh My Life!

Yet more lazy runners preventing the pass

Shoite! Both centres coming off!!

He needs to make subs, the players are tiring and France have brought on fresh players.

Just read up on her. She's most well known for the Irish drama The Clinic because she was on that for a few years. 3some is made by Comedy Central UK not the BBC - hardly well known. The only BBC thing she did was an episode of George Gently a few years ago. She's just done some TV movie type things then. I'd say your statement was true in reverse in that she's more well known over here for being married to BOD.

France are PATHETIC.

Truly architects of their own doom.

To have actually let France back into this game is a complete and utter joke.

If France had played half decent they would have won.

Why does BOD take half an hour to leave the pitch?

Sean O'Brien to centre!!!
(i wish)

Leave it out PSW!!!

How is Murray allowed back on?

Because he's not going to.

Oh, he is. This has been a desperately poor second half from Ireland. We've taken our foot off the pedal entirely.

Shoite! Hope Luke and Drico are ok.

What has happened to French rugby - 2 overlaps missed within 20 seconds. Is someone on a back-hander.

Shocking call for that to be a wheel there, should've been reset

Injury cover I guess.

Please let luke Marshall be concussed and nothing more serious. Please. Pretty please.

Superb by POM there with the turnover. He has had a good game today. It's strange- when a backrow player actually does his job and doesn't stand in centre and the wing he is more effective.

I think BOD's wife's face said that was his last game at Lansdowne. Gutted. I fears it's curtains here lads.

How can Murray come back on? Don't you have to use one of your unused subs?

watching france is like watching wales v aus

That's the end for Brian I think.

Why do they keep on showing Kirstie Alley in the crowd? She hasn't been famous in years?

Don't want to hear screaming at the ref by the irish 9

LondonTiger wrote:How is Murray allowed back on?

If Murray was taken off as a tactical sub, then he is allowed to be brought back on in the case of a blood sub.

Cari

Well ive only ever seen her on BBC, and a play in london so

Well simply stop trolling and following me around. If you don't like what I post ignore it and move on. I was commenting on the game...hardly kissing "ass" oh and stop using Americanisms - you're posting in English from England, not the USA.
