Serious arm wrestle for the next 10

Three points at least from this attack and it should be enough. But we'll see.

VDF - 26m from 5 carries, 3 clean breaks, 3 defenders beaten, 20 tackles, none missed.

It’s mad that people think he isn’t the best Irish 7. He’s incredible.

PhlegmyMoses

Beautiful. Basically did what Lyon could not

Ah ****

LostArt

Well that wasn't pretty but we'll take it

Edit: balls, but still grand

A-Train

Synode

Smart play by the Lyon player there.

A-Train

Ah crap! Points straight back to them

Shut up Dave.

Nice to get the win but not a good performance all in. Solid in defence but relied on Lyon making some awful mistakes.

How did he not get man of the match?

A-Train

It wasn’t pretty but I’ll take it all day

VdF was robbed of man of the match I think. He was absolutely mincing players in the tackle, driving them back yards, made a couple of crucial turnovers and also a couple of line breaks.

FrancieBrady

Well done..looked ominous at times.

Synode

Job done. Roll on Northampton

Seriously scrappy game, no flow of any kind but still, we'll take it.

VDF the best player on the park, titanic performance.

To be fair, we made a fair few ourselves. Conditions probably dictated the shape of the game more than anything, but I suspect it was partly due to re-integration of the internationals as well. But two from two and a win away in France is always a bonus.

victory away form home against the Top 14 leaders without getting out of 3rd gear is pretty impressive

Yeah we made terrible mistakes and butchered some attacks too. Hence the poor performance part.

This game is zzzzzzzzzz

gooch2k9

That was nice.

Great try that.

prawnsambo

This is interesting. Can they cancel this out after the conversion?

Edit: apparently yes.

2smiggy

Forward pass, but they did that the conversion, should not be sales fault if the video ref was too slow IMO

ScrubsfanChris

Don’t think they can overturn that

TMO Protocols 2.1


2. Potential infringement by the team touching the ball down in opposition in-goal
2.1 If, after a team in possession of the ball has touched the ball down in their opponents’ in-goal area (including after a try is awarded and before the conversion is struck), any of the match officials (including the TMO) have a view that there was a potential infringement, within the list of offences (see 2.3) before the ball was carried into in-goal by the team that touched the ball down, they may suggest that the referee refers the matter to the TMO for review.

RugbyLover123

That is one of the most stupid things I’ve seen on a rugby pitch - has to be red and lengthy ban

So silly with cameras everywhere FFS
