Ireland v France - The 6N decider

by Cardiff Taffy Sat 8 Mar - 16:16

First topic message reminder :

With such a strong points advantage if Ireland can just win in Paris then the Championship is there's. Now it's never been a happy hunting ground for Ireland - can they do it?

I think it's there year and I'm going to say yes.

France won the u20 decider 23-13 hence getting their first GS. The game was closer than what the scoreline and it was 13-13 with 10 minutes to go with ireland missing a penalty.

Welcome back Ferris.

Boom! Looked in fantastic shape, bigger and stronger than I've ever seen him. Hopefully he can get an injury free run now until the end of the season but that comeback couldn't have went much better.

A few hours to go now ....Come on Ireland! guinness

France did, though, what I think they do a lot. Wait for a final surge. I hope if it's a close game in Paris, with Ireland holding a slight lead, and France looking out on their feet,that the Irish players are alive to an out-of-the-blue flourish by the French at a time when there could be no come back from Ireland. 80 minutes of absolute and total concentration.

Squeaky bum time minus 7 hrs 45...

by SecretFly Sat 15 Mar - 9:21

You just worry about the Roman Legions, Portnoy. Wink

If I knew any cricket allusions more complex than the usual 'cricket score' one I'd try to do something smart with them. But I don't so........... well, I do expect Italy to implode at some point in the game and then it's chase, chase, chase by the frisky English.

I do think they'll give us a target to reach for too. Just more tension still added to that final game.

by Portnoy's Complaint Sat 15 Mar - 9:33

It'll be quadruple entertainment in Rome today for me today, Fly.

England with nothing to lose.
Keeping up with the pts/min ratio.
Thinking of BOD's crash landing.
All spiced with the prospect of Mooro blowing a gasket.

Great appetiser.

Good luck to Ireland Hug

But not too much mind!

I'm hoping for a great day in front of the telly.

by SecretFly Sat 15 Mar - 9:40

Yeah, enjoy the games, Port Smile

But not too much mind!

I'm off to get some chores done before the cricket game that's on first. I hope I'm delirious when this day comes to an end, but I'm realistic enough to know that might not be so. If you get it instead, enjoy the celebrations.

by HammerofThunor Sat 15 Mar - 12:16

Good luck all sides. Let's hope for no injuries all round and full on contests (except England v Italy where England win by 70 Smile

by Hookisms and Hyperbole Sat 15 Mar - 12:24

The belly is gurgling lads. Majorly. To the tune of Five featuring Queen. I don't know what that means. I maybe dreamt it. It's been known.

I once had a wonderful dream where I was a military sniper and took out the members of S Club Juniors with one bullet. Sweet bliss. My life goes unfulfilled.

by HammerofThunor Sat 15 Mar - 14:24

Well I still hope Ireland win, even though it means we don't get the championship. At least there is the warm up game to settle down for before the big one Smile

by mystiroakey Sat 15 Mar - 15:06

If you irish win fair play...

Not going to support France just for the hell of it..

England winning this or not is immaterial to me. We are on a serious upward curve and have just played the most expansive set of 5 games in a 6 nations for decades..

So lets hope for a classic anyway.

by Guest Sat 15 Mar - 15:17

Just back from a spot of golf. I was rubbish. I blame the France v Ireland nerves although I am always rubbish.
Hope it is a classic, mystir, but truth be told I don't really care at the moment. So long as Ireland win. I think we will Very Happy

maybe

maybe not

maybe

maybe not

I don't know Shocked

Just watch the Wales game now to help ready myself for the big game. Hogg has just been red carded.

by mystiroakey Sat 15 Mar - 15:33

I just came back from a week long golf trip- I was possibly worse than you were with no nerves!!

by Scratch Sat 15 Mar - 15:47

lets just get this straight, ireland need to beat france which theyhave only done once in 42 years in 2000 when His Holiness the BOD scored a hat trick....today he goes to paris to contest the championship in his last game for ireland......i have never heard a better story in rugby i don't think, drooling like a geriatric for this one

by Cari Sat 15 Mar - 16:51

If anyone can find it...get the "Here comes BOD" cartoon from the BBC, it's brilliant (if you're over a certain age and remember the Bod cartoon...)

by Nachos Jones Sat 15 Mar - 16:51

Jeez, POM's singing his heart out more than Alynwyn Jones does!

by Scratch Sat 15 Mar - 17:02

Barnes has to have an impact even before the whistle, and Wlash on the whistle should be inetresting

by Scratch Sat 15 Mar - 17:03

dull from ireland

by Gibson Sat 15 Mar - 17:04

Discipline lads. Discipline.

Evenin Cari.

by Nachos Jones Sat 15 Mar - 17:05

What was D'Arcy doing there, cant miss those...

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar - 17:05

Relax. Keep the powder dry lads.

by Cari Sat 15 Mar - 17:05

Well he looks like he's eaten one burger too many, but you try stopping Bastareau...

by Scratch Sat 15 Mar - 17:06

come on ireland...championship at stake and you wont win playing like that. Luckily Basteraud cant pass

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar - 17:06

Yup that'll do.

Don't go high on him for a start.

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar - 17:08

Better from Drico there.

by Cari Sat 15 Mar - 17:08

Indeed Nachos...

Walsh making some "interesting" decisions... chin

by Scratch Sat 15 Mar - 17:11

France came to play today as opposed to sulking

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar - 17:12

Walsh will penalise Ireland off the park here.

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar - 17:13

Come on lads big scrum here.

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar - 17:14

France won't like that. If Ireland can take it to them in the scrum they won't be happy campers.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar - 17:14

Cari, that's what I thought as well.

Don't know who to support, normally I will support a "home nation" against any other, but in this case is it difficult.

The big B is looking a real handful BOD has got his work cut out today. Butchered that pass for a run in.

French do look up for it though.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar - 17:15

Walsh is just being Walsh, I did one of them this morning in the bathroom.
