RGIII

threw it away, too many mistakes in 2nd half

Good game. Didn't deserve to lose or win based on 2nd half.
unreal defense all round and I thought all played well.

Kur4mA

ZOMG

Teferi

On balance I think that is a fair result.

justsomebloke

Unbeaten twice in a row in Paris now

mfceiling

In fairness they were there for the taking....top game though

Clucking Bell, that was some game.

Draws are always an anti-climax, but better than a defeat.

Are you aware Parra missed 2? Ridiculous trying to blame it on Sexton, no other nation has such venom in their supporters towards one player.

As opposed to you with Murray? :rolleyes:

Looks like it's gonna boil down to Sextons easy miss penalty at the start

Not to mention rock solid defence from him.

Great game.

One we should have won, but mistakes as usual cost us.

kevohmsford

That was a great game of rugby. Pity we did not win it but great performance

Higher

**** result against a woeful French team.

Not to mention Sexton kicking one from the sideline but sure...

A-Train

Happy enough with a draw, would have taken it before the start!

crisco10

Funny game, lucky to draw. Bit sad to not win.

ricero

embarrassing we did not score in the 2nd half

kmart6

Best chance in a while to win in Paris...couldn't do anything in the 2nd half but did well to keep France from scoring a lot!

No doubt the Kidney bashing in here will continue, and people will blame him for not winning today!

justsomebloke

Lads leave the Leinster Munster crap, this is your warning bans will follow otherwise

Piliger

We had the game. We threw it away.

What a bunch of absolute losers.

mfceiling

Says something that we are disappointed with a draw in paris

hadepsx

same old, same old. why cant they hold on to a lead

Draw game - Ireland should have won it. around the 65/70 min mark, Sexton should have dropped back when they were on the French 22, and slotted a drop goal. Very disappointed for them in a game they had the potential to win. No score for Ireland in the second half

Kearney or Bowe MOTM

Fantastic defensive effort by Ireland at the end of the game, which was really really impressive.

rrpc

Game of two halves :eek:

Great defense at the end. Kearney my MOM

Spudmonkey

Great performance from Ireland, all over the field. Kearney my man of the match, they guy was just immense.

Draw is an unsatisfactory result but we didn't deserve to lose.

Johro

Draw... Disappointing..
BBC commentary congratulate Ireland. Still, a draw.

What a stupid statement.

Considering our first half performance, I'm very surprised to see so many happy with a draw... history is one thing, but this game was ours for the taking. Too many mistakes in the 2nd half cost us here...

Of course it will, that was a terrible result. France rarely play that poorly at home and Ireland didnt even put them to the sword.

its_phil

Fair result.

If Kearney doesnt get MOTM, I'll load my shotgun and get the first flight over to Paris.

Heaslip...

Kearney & Ferris had stormers... Murray injury looks serious, hope he's ok..
