Ireland v France - The 6N decider

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.

Don't panic! It's early doors...

Oh FFS! that was terrible French TV camera work. They didn't show the ball going over, they just cut to some dude's face.

GG loves Walsh doesnt he

still plenty of time for france to man sausage this up

Golden, was that said with an Irish accent " It's a cracker"

I was just about to post this.

What is up with the camera work this year?

Oh France, why can't you play schitt all the time?   

Wide.

Why do that?

Mas will be a huge loss

Yappy - all I can say is that these pictures on the BBC are via French TV and they've no control over them...maybe just as well as we'd be seeing far too much of the crowd.

That looks nasty for Mas. Hope it's nothing too serious.

That did not look good

Off their feet!

Come on Ref oh wait is that Mr Walsh, we're doomed!

Good game this.

Looking marginally like Ireland's day at the moment.

BOD on the boil

Mas gone might well be the difference.

Ireland have it in the bag as long as they keep 15 on the field

Is Walsh bleeding, I didn't think he had a heart.

Walsh is sounding awfully camp these days...   

Heaslip is really getting outmuscled out there.

can we not just let the game go sometimes - the ball was away.

Interesting point about the binding, illegal. Do the officials look at their performance at 1/2 time

Sexton having an off day with the boot?

sexton not got his boots on

What is it with Sexton and easy pressure kicks?

Sexton misses again.

Surprise that. They look on top though.

Walsh handing this game to the irish

Sexton's kicking is woeful, from the tee and with ball in hand

Sexton cannot kick under pressure.

Oh Jonny. That's six points gone Ireland could really do with having...

Sexton, good player but can't kick, last one was strangely similar to the one he missed against NZ.

Right, I would push Sexton to 12 (in place of D'Arcy) and bring Madigan on after about 50mins.

Is Sexton over thinking? He seems to take to long to kick. Crucial 5 points gone a begging.

Sexton!    

We should be ahead. Bloody France have only turned up for one game this year but we've lived with them and we should be winning.

They didn't play that bad against England, everything else in between was rubbish!

Sexton hasn't got the bottle. What can you say? He isn't world class. Doesn't have it between the ears

Will we once again score more tries against France and still manage to lose?

Come on Ireland, you're better than bottlers.

For him, Sexton has been relatively poor this 6 Nations, what is going on with him

I have that feeling as well.

Walsh will card the French 1 soon in the second half though.

We'd be 50 nil up if ROG, Zeebo and Donners were playing.

Where's Tommy...he'd have banged two over by now

How come Wee Paddy isn't on the bench?

Even in a tight match like this for Ireland, you have to have a dig at Munster? Bit sad.

COME ON IRELAND. They need to start big now.

Schmidt will have to show his bottle. Give Sexton a chance to turn it around and haul him off if he continues

I think the stress of the match is affecting your sense of humour and perspective.

It is not as tight as you think, we are fitter and have a stronger bench. We're good for the 2 score win as it stands   

Yup not a problem.

Noooo! Chilli injured.

Sorry if you were joking but I have had enough of the anti Munster bile in the buildup to this match.

Heaslip is having a nightmare

Heaslip is playing dreadfully, body position in possession has been poor and now putting hsi side under pressure.....wtf? Sexto, pin them back.

Ireland is aying well, but they are forcing the passes, making unforced errors which is costing them at the moment.

They must be more patient.

I cant believe this is the same French team from this 6N.

I can see them winning from here.
