    Sexton scapegoat for this loss unfortunately

    Another French player with his head in his knee :)

    Donnacha Ryan's leadership is massively missed in situations like this.

    It's turned into rugby league the last few years. Any loss of control is called a knock on, unless it goes straight back.

    And if a pass is marginally forward (for example, the French try) it's deemed level.

    We're being beaten by a very poor team at the moment.

    Very very disappointing.

    How?

    We had full control of that game.

    Because they never gave up, kept it a going concern and we started to make errors. They fully deserve their lead.

    What an ugly performance, you just knew it was coming. Sickening.

    Don't know which is worse looking or listening to luke

    Eddie Jones will be a happy man watching this. It's between England and Wales for the championship.

    If we lose in this manner I think Schmidt has to go this year. Brilliant coach but our play isn't progressing.

    Joe simply must go after this campaign. A man who has run out of ideas a long time ago

    Rightly so. Missed a simple crucial kick to put them away.

    We never looked liked scoring a try. France were always going to win this, they easily contained us. I was just waiting for the sucker punch to happen.

    We just haven't got the wingers or the full back that the rest of this team deserves.
    Until we find those three players we are going to struggle against too level opposition.

    Lads.

    Can you all stop revelling in it when your team is losing.

    It's pathetic.

    You're no fans of Ireland.

    If we lose this lots of awkward questions will have to be asked.

    Two wrong HIA's in one game?

    We need to score something in 4 and a half minutes to win it?

    France look like they will be the winners of this contest. Ireland are nowhere near going to win this game.

    He'll be here till the world cup but I'll tend to agree. No evolution in the 6N over the last three seasons. The faces have changed but we're incapable of playing anything like decent rugby away from home.

    I'm shocked.

    We should be winning by at least 10. I've no reasons for why we're not.

    This HIA stuff is a disgrace

    95% tackle success rate for France, that’s unreal.
