    Now... Did you see that? Stander gets the ball...makes 3m and it takes 2-3 men to put him down every time...
    it saps french energy...that's what he does..and does well... Furlong tried it..made no ground..and had the ball ripped from his grasp.... Stander does this so well and it's not always recognised

    He's getting through truckloads. And for people saying he's one dimensional, he passed 3 times in the first half, our 7 didn't pass once in his time on the pitch

    Did I hear that Ireland have had 72% possession and 75% territory by Dave McIntyre!

    I cant help but feel we are one mistake away from losing this. The French dont seem to be fading at all but rather growing in confidence and energy. One spark is all they need to explode.

    Great by Leavy to isolate Guirado.

    That's a big penalty to win, and at a crucial time. Well done CJ

    That turnover from Stander was great.

    This game would be perfectly set up for Zebo to come on off the bench now.

    Brilliant from both Leavy and Stander there. Great win for our back row at a crucial moment

    Jaysus I wish I had Rog's confidence. If we go 9 points clear with 20 mins to go its game over? Not sure about that at all.

    Nah...I'd rather keep Stockdale and Earls on the pitch than even remotely mention Zebo.

    Didn't Nigel threaten a yellow for repeated infringements before halftime

    And now we are to the good from it, a penalty kick slice aside.

    Think we just need to completely grind this out now. Play territory more. France haven’t threatened and we need to force them to make the mistakes

    A lot of silly unfield errors going to be a nervy finish

    Anyone else get the feeling that France are going to get a try and sneak this? Ireland look really off sorts.
