What's that? 3 or 4 penalties conceded?

To be fair it's awful stuff so far. We just kick it up in the air and France don't do too much with it.

Soups123 · 03-02-2018 05:05PM

Owens all over us

Some have been questionable in fairness

Zzippy · 03-02-2018 05:06PM

We've looked fairly bereft of ideas so far. France bringing all the aggression and line speed in defence and we've no answer so far

He probably feels we pose more danger to Wales than France do.

Just the Bundee one IMO and even then those get given all the time.

Boscoirl · 03-02-2018 05:06PM

Henderson is at sea in the scrum so far

Again, has a look of him but I'm certain there's someone he's the spit of. It'll probably come to me midway through the tournament when he's been dropped and forgotten about.

France don't look like they have any kind of spark (they haven't done in years in fairness).

Actually is it that lad from Twilight? Not the main chap - the other lad

Nigel having a very dodgy first 20

Who does Mathieu Jalibert look like? I swear he's the spit of another famous person (certain it's a sportsman, think it's a soccer player) but can't think who and it's bugging me.

Why if you have a free play with a penalty in front of the posts do you try a drop goal?!

baas baa · 03-02-2018 05:09PM

We are butchers of free plays

03-02-2018 05:09PM

REALLY inconsistent from Owens there.

dublinman1990 · 03-02-2018 05:09PM

That was very good play from Ireland. At least we will get another 3 points from this.

Didactic Ninja · 03-02-2018 05:10PM

choke tackle not given to france there? harsh

leakyboots · 03-02-2018 05:10PM

We're in a bit of a dogfight

Losty Dublin · 03-02-2018 05:10PM

Every time Ryan gets the ball he's taking three Fenchmen on AND he gains yards and he manages his turn when going to ground. His work is amazing so far.

Knee on the ground.

irishbucsfan · 03-02-2018 05:10PM

Ireland looking to get France in possession in their own half here. Either expecting them to punch themselves out or concede penalties in possession.

03-02-2018 05:11PM

Break the scoreboard first, then break their hearts...!

Zzippy · 03-02-2018 05:11PM

Plenty of Irish in the crowd

I wonder where Nollag is, hasn't posted in a few hours...

tayto lover · 03-02-2018 05:11PM

Does Murray have to kick all the time?

Hiberno12345 · 03-02-2018 05:12PM

Ireland well in control.

If he's reading this, get us all a match programme.

Hiberno12345 · 03-02-2018 05:13PM

Always get the impression Brian Moore hates Ireland/Irish people more than anything in life.

dublinman1990 · 03-02-2018 05:14PM

As least Ireland is very lucky to be up 6-0 so far against France considering the game has been a mixed bag of performances to date.

I hope Ireland don't concede with France near the posts.

Jack Kanoff · 03-02-2018 05:15PM

Bit of inexperience from Ryan there nearly cost us

03-02-2018 05:16PM

Poor decision from Ryan there. Ultra calm on our try line.

irishbucsfan · 03-02-2018 05:16PM

Great recovery there
