Ireland v France - The 6N decider

by Cardiff Taffy Sat Mar 08, 2014 4:16 pm

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.

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:37 pm

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. Doh

GG loves Walsh doesnt he

I was just about to post this.

What is up with the camera work this year?

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:41 pm

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

by Scrumpy Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:41 pm

Wide.

Why do that?

Mas will be a huge loss

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:42 pm

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.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:43 pm

That did not look good

by Scrumpy Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:44 pm

Off their feet!

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

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:44 pm

Good game this.

Looking marginally like Ireland's day at the moment.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:44 pm

BOD on the boil

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:45 pm

Mas gone might well be the difference.

by Scrumpy Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:46 pm

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

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:46 pm

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

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:48 pm

Walsh is sounding awfully camp these days... Ireland v France - The 6N decider - Page 11 3559488474

by LeinsterFan4life Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:48 pm

Heaslip is really getting outmuscled out there.

by nathan Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:48 pm

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

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:49 pm

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

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:49 pm

Sexton having an off day with the boot?

by tatterd Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:49 pm

sexton not got his boots on

by Nachos Jones Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:49 pm

What is it with Sexton and easy pressure kicks?

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:50 pm

Sexton misses again.

Surprise that. They look on top though.

by nathan Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:50 pm

Walsh handing this game to the irish

by ALPanorak Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:50 pm

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

by LeinsterFan4life Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:50 pm

Sexton cannot kick under pressure.

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:50 pm

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

by VinceWLB Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:50 pm

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

by Nachos Jones Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:52 pm

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

by GLove39 Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:52 pm

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

by **Notch** Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:52 pm

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!

by Hookisms and Hyperbole Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:54 pm

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

by LeinsterFan4life Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:56 pm

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

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:56 pm

Come on Ireland, you're better than bottlers.

by Scratch Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:56 pm

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

by Nachos Jones Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:57 pm

I have that feeling as well.

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

by **rodders** Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:57 pm

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

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:58 pm

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

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.

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:00 pm

COME ON IRELAND. They need to start big now.

by Hookisms and Hyperbole Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:02 pm

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 thumbsup

by **rodders** Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:04 pm

Yup not a problem.

by Cari Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:04 pm

Noooo! Chilli injured. Sad

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

by LeinsterFan4life Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:06 pm

Heaslip is having a nightmare

by Scratch Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:07 pm

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

by **Biltong** Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:07 pm

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.

by Nachos Jones Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:07 pm

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

I can see them winning from here.
