Nice try.
Going to be some fun sessions with Edwards for France after this.

They can show that all day but he is taken out by his own man.

Amazed le Garrec didn't come on at half time, even more surprised he's not on now

Good reffing.

Nah. Ball doesn't roll as it goes over the line, no evidence to suggest he had lost control of it at that point

JGP was resting on his hands miles in front of the try line actually, would've been an interesting call had it been a knock on
Re: Official France v Ireland Thread

Doesn't lose control until its been in contact with the try line.
Re: Official France v Ireland Thread

I think you should concede a free kick for taking that long to take a restart

Yep. I thought fickou was taken out by own player but on replay it was Crowley.Gumboot wrote: Fri Feb 02, 2024 9:24 pmAgreed.S/Lt_Phillips wrote: Fri Feb 02, 2024 9:24 pmYeah, no clear separationJM2K6 wrote: Fri Feb 02, 2024 9:22 pm

This is why I don’t think Ireland are going to walk this 6N. Weak scrum and all the offsides and interfering being picked up. TBF, probably still the best team in the competition but don’t think they will dominate

Jaysus, when did we ever do that ?
Our guys are as keen on giving their fans heart attacks as an team

Until it comes to the final match. Then they'll be allowed to be as far offside and support their own weight as much as they want.Slick wrote: Fri Feb 02, 2024 9:27 pm This is why I don’t think Ireland are going to walk this 6N.

All too easy, first hit up by Ireland, they are only going to improve...France not sure where they are right now. No emotion, no passion and no pace in their game. The drop off from Dupont is massive. He is clearly carrying this team.

See now if I was describing the Irish sides of the last 5 years or so, it'd be "efficient"
That try was efficient.

How much prep time do France get for the 1st match? They have always tended to have less preparation time than the likes of Ireland.Slick wrote: Fri Feb 02, 2024 9:35 pm Had a feeling the WC would have knocked the stuffing out of France, they are very poor

Ireland are going to win the grand slam, no question in my mind. Scotland are their next closest, and Ireland will beat them with something to spare.
