    Was the clock early on RTE as well - watching it on BBC and the clock had 40 seconds to run when Murray kicked out the ball

    Fact: First time ever Ireland have lead at half time in France

    Sexton and Bowe having stormers. Sexton in defense, Bowe in attack. The two have been vital. Healy as well is being his usual disruptive self as is O'Connell.

    The RTE clock was correct, went to 40 just before the ref called it.

    Wow, Bowe back to his best

    Murray justifying selection, immense in defense

    SOB resembling David Pocock at the break-down

    DOC is having a cracker too, he might not be there on form but he's been huge today

    Funny how a week or two changes things. Credit to Murray, playing much better than last week.

    Great point by Keith Wood on BBC, basically saying when Ireland play with this intensity, they can beat anyone but fans are frustrated they cannot get that intensity up more often.

    Apart from 1 missed kick Sexton has been immense.

    Even after the NFL season is over, T.Bowe is still doing the business.

    The ominous feeling of a massive French second half is depressing. Hoping we see some more awful French play.

    Excellent hands from Earls to give Bowe the extra half yard to take on Fofana. We wouldn't have seen that 6 months ago. His hands have really come on since he focused on 13.

    Good work from him

    Worth noting how solid midfield is with Earls and Darcy.

    Puts paid the notion of the numerous posters saying we would be "destroyed" and "annihilated" by the french midfield

    Cant believe people are saying we've been dominated. We really havent. We've dominated at the breakdown, and apart from 2 or 3 linebreaks from them we've been comfortable enough. Lots of work to do still all the same.

    Have we ever been in the lead in Paris at half time in the 6 Nations? Don't think so
