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

    Yeah, like they did against Scotland.

    Ireland need to keep this intensity up!

    Amazing game so far. The Irish forwards are battling for everything. Totally unexpected performance.

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

    Murray, SOB, Earls, Heaslip, Sexton and DOC really shutting up their detractors today.

    The great thing about it is we have Ryan and POM to come on who will love this type of match

    Looking at it again, Bowe should really have passed inside for that second try ... but feck it, when it's your day you tend to get the bounce!

    I've been watching the 6Ns in France, on French TV for the last 20 years.
    They (the french commentators) are great men for blaming the 'ref for their woes. Its a national sport
    Today, for the first time that I can remember they have said that the 'ref is being kind to them! On three seperate occasions!!.
    Galthie even said twice he would have "blown" the other way when Pearson pinged Ireland what_smile.gif

    6-17

    Somebody pinch me laugh.gif

    If only we beat Wales last month we could be on course for the grand slam (we were a min away :mad::mad:)


    I think it's wales grand slam now, they have 2 home games against Italy and France

    1st score in the 2nd half could be vital. If we go up and get 3 on the board, we're in with a huge shout

    C'mon Lads!

    Apart from not binning Healy, he's given us very little, even the one he penailsed Murray for not putting it into a moving scrum, wtf was that about??

    I dunno...I think he waited perfectly, the defender thought he was going to past and shifted his weight, then the space opened and Bowe had to go himself.

    So far so good but there was a spell in the first half where we stood off them in defence and they made yards for fun. If we do that in the 2nd they will be right back into the game. Great performance from the pack so far.

    Pearson is a terrible ref, but at least he's terrible for both teams.

    He certainly doesn't seem to be favouring the French.

    Think we need to bring on Ryan and POM around the 55 mark. We'll need the added intensity to keep on top. Any time we were any way hesitant in defense, France gained ground.

    Good tackle by Trimble - very poor play by France leaving them be pushed over the line

    Cmon Ireland!

    Who should give way in the backrow for POM?
