Ireland v France - The 6N decider

by Cardiff Taffy Sat 08 Mar 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 Scratch Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:29 pm

no try, i hope that that does not decide the 6 Nations

by Cari Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:29 pm

Right, Ireland need to reply with pointage!

by trebellbobaggins Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:29 pm

Hmm. Doesn't look like he touched that down,

Luck both ways there then.

by lostinwales Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:29 pm

Healy should have been at least yellow. Was dumb and dangerous, even if it was against Picamoles.

by Nachos Jones Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:30 pm

Costly moment for Ireland that. That could be the championship.

by EnglishReign Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:30 pm

Feel it would've come in some form or another there. Doesn't make it right though - how can Walsh award it when he hasn't seen the grounding?!

by Cari Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:30 pm

Well Ireland got their just desserts with the French try that wasn't.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:32 pm

Ireland riding their luck at the moment, could have been down to 14.

Walsh still needs his Specsavers account, clear knock on for the try

by glamorganalun Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:33 pm

He is a big lad for France, good game, Sexton may regret those missed kicks

by Cari Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:33 pm

Ferg on for D'Arcy. Hopefully fresh legs will give Ireland some oomph.

by HammerofThunor Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:33 pm

Ireland getting away with a hell of a lot at the ruck. So much for the SH refs being strict at the ruck. Tackler holding on, putting hands on the ball after the ruck has formed, tackler not rolling away. Very cute

I can see them winning from here.

did you not watch the first game then?

Yep, England were all over them but they had a few lucky moments and won the match. Playing much better against Ireland today than they did then.

lol. that has made my day. You only watch rugby through your own eyes. You cant get rid of the bias

France are showing elements of their best today but remain ill disciplined. Sexto isn't kicking to Huget and Dulin which is why France aren't doing what they did to England, a huge tactical error by the English but Enlgand are not the team now that opened this championship

no you clearly dont remember the game. France were on fire first half. The first 30 mins especially was for me there best spell of rugby. Yes england 100% gifted them the game at the end when we had completely bashed them to an inch of there life.. However Frances best 30 mins was there first 30 mins.

Having just said you watch the game through your own eyes you then tell me i don't remember it?

I do.

Frances best half of rugby for me was there first half v England

Another poster stated that this france today is on a completely different level and when i disagree he has become abusive. There is no fight against you. Its just the fact that france have played this well already in this 6 nations..

Against anyone with any brains that could have been nasty. Imagine Picamoles putting his head in the way of Healy's

by Nachos Jones Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:34 pm

Walsh is really getting into the game now.

by Cari Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:34 pm

Plus, with the way Walsh is going, you could argue France have an extra man on the pitch as it is... Whistle

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:34 pm

This has been brutal. Ireland need to dig in now.

by glamorganalun Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:34 pm

This game shows there is nothing between the 4 top teams, home advantage makes all the difference this year.

by Cari Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:35 pm

Schitt! Sexytoes is out cold. Yeah you look concerned B'stard. He's such a bully sometimes.

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:35 pm

Sexton really bad shape.

I wa thinking the opposite.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:36 pm

Good that the Big B stopped to look after Sexton there. Shows the difference between rugby and football.

by glamorganalun Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:37 pm

If I was a betting man France are the go forward team at the moment.

by nathan Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:37 pm

Not all going well for ireland and it's moved the refs fault, sometimes it really is anyones but irelands fault.

by Cari Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:37 pm

Well Madigan is on. Hopefully he'll get a couple of points.

Well, B'stard wasn't intentional there. Accidental elbow.

by HammerofThunor Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:37 pm

Cari, doing you always have to be insulting to the players, especially him? Personally attacking players isn't called for. Rugby really is going the way of football if we descend to that.

I agree, howler on the try but otherwise pretty even performance from beardo

by Nachos Jones Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:38 pm

The writing is on the wall now.

Hope Sexton is ok.

True. It's fasinating what a guilty conscience can do... Whistle

by nathan Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:38 pm

it might not be that bad that sexton is going off, if this gets close and is down to kicking for the posts.

should point out though that i hope he's ok.

If ireland win this, they have deserved it.

by **rodders** Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:39 pm

Moore is struggling.

by Nachos Jones Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:39 pm

Proper scrum from France clap

by **Biltong** Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:39 pm

And here comes a big nail in the Irish coffin.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:39 pm

Crucial scrum that one, for England anyway.

Not at all. I'll stop. Apologies for any offence caused.

Getting very nervous now.

by nathan Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:42 pm

i've got to stop reading on here, the iplayer is about 30 seconds behind.

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:42 pm

Didn't realise Barnsie, was on the touch

How come you're watching on iPlayer? Are you abroad at the moment?

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:43 pm

Perhaps I should get the cucumber sandwiches out.....................Oh Golly

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:44 pm

How many deliberate knock-ons are the Irish going to get away with?

by Cari Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:45 pm

How far can Madigan kick from, anyone??

by WELL-PAST-IT Sat 15 Mar 2014, 6:45 pm

Great defence by Ireland
