Ireland v France

vienne86

Well deserved try. Mind you, France should have a man in the bin.

baas baa

Should still have come back for the yellow.

lbc2019

HIA for the big man

Subpopulus

My god!
The Sexton Loop!
It worked!
For once it actually worked!

If Ireland were at this carry on giving away multiple penalties in Paris you can be bloody sure that a yellow would be dished out.

Strumms

Another penalty, taking out in the air, referee is poor.

mangobob

Thats more like it. Brilliant try. When that wrap around is done right its basically undefendable.

Yup, there's posters here I can sense willing Murray to mess up. A ball is slapped out of his hand from inside the ruck and it's Murray's fault.



Ringrose gets turned over twice with ball in hand and not a post about either

Murray had the ball in his hands and he was hit. He was too slow, again.

Nobody’s looking for Murray to be sh*t. At least I hope not, but up to that try, his passing and reactions have been far too slow and laboured.

It's just Ringrose's second game of the Championship. In his only other game he was Ireland's best player. Murray has been poor all tournament.

Burkie1203

Thats a card.

Why warn them if your Not going to follow thru

A-Train

Card has to come soon

its_phil

Ref left his cards in the dressing room

Gidea

Jaysus never seen someone just smash into a lineout lift like that, blatant card...

gooch2k9

Very similar to Itoje's yellow. At least he challenged for the ball.

fitz

Stone cold yellow for French 7 there.

crisco10

Pretty sloppy from France again. Just puts them back in their half

vienne86

France indiscipline is going to kill them.

They are young and inexperienced- give them time.

Some people are so damned negative

Bazpd

Did the ref say single man lift there?

lbc2019

Ringrose!

Diabhal Beag

Ringrose is such a match-winner

crisco10

Probably check if he is onside

Literally everyone wants to see Murray at his best. His passing is hit and miss, for a fourth game in a row, its entirely legitimate criticism and at worst its a testiment to his usual high standards.

A-Train

Go on Gary, hopefully finished that

bilston

Oooohh...could be a great try, but I think he may have knocked it on. Hope not

vienne86

That was fabulous by Ringrose.

joseywhales

France are desperate to get possession. They have to get it

bilston

Ah unlucky

lbc2019

He lost control - no try

Clegg

Still has control of that no?

The Lost Sheep

Unlucky ringrose. so close

crisco10

Has he lost control really???

That one is always given as knock on tho

MadYaker

This ref has it in for us, French should be down to 14

dublinman1990

Ringrose hasn't scored there. F*ck it. It's an KO.

vienne86

KO - dammit.

its_phil

Ah Ringrose

No. Fell out of his grip

This.

bilston

If France tire...as they should...we could rack up a big score if the conditions stay fair in the second half.

gooch2k9

Sure it left his hands backwards!

Hit from inside the ruck. Completely illegal and he was 100% right to be aggrieved.



You're overegging his passing and reactions completely, Murray is playing well

A-Train

Very unlucky would have been a great try

crisco10

Let's see if France can exit well for once

When you're against opposition this poor I reckon the furlong loop would work.

More like 12. Not producing a yellow just cos Sexton scored is disgraceful.

TallGlass

Can see one of the French lads getting sent off

vienne86

We could do with another try before half time.

Its a cheap and easy cry to blame his every time something goes amiss. His errors fine- but Im surprised people here havent blamed him for Maddie McCann and Shergar at this stage

joseywhales

This is a fantastic performance, keep the foot on their neck
