All aboard!! Kick off in a minute then. Ireland fielding 15 players and France springing a shock selection with also going with 15 players.

Being kinder to France by playing the music louder than the singing. Advantage France.

For when I deny this thread tomorrow, I’ve had two bottles of wine and am seeing the game largely in the medium of blue shapes and green shapes.

French try and Ireland learning the lesson of still tackling the player even after he crosses the line. Rather than running past him and letting him dot down closer to the posts.

He’d almost overrun it so can see why it was a penalty plus card.

Had he not been hit by the frog from behind he would definitely caught it

Quite happy to be told I’m completely wrong, but given the ball went flying forward off the Irish player isn’t it a knock on once the French player touches it?

Ireland need to win by 7 or more. If not, England win.
