    OMG. That was amazing. Chip from Bastareud, my god.

    Scotland defending poor though, they're still in the dressing room.

    Dupont daring Gilchrist to give away the penalty. Gilchrist obliges.

    France look like they are finally hitting some form...just in time to face us. Typical.

    Brunel was the last person in France to realise Dupont needed to start.

    They'll be away from home though. But true enough.

    Still I grew up watching French flair. Great to watch.

    Another stunning kick from Ntamack. A lot to study for Ireland.

    Just explains why Scotland cannot win the 6 nations. They are a disgrace. 1999 is a long time since they won the competition and last time they beat France in Paris. They are like Ireland in 1990s not there to perform but to fill up the numbers. I think their women's team would put on a better show. 2 dreadful teams.

    That's the longer term challenge for Ireland in the World Cup. To break the quarter final glass ceiling we'll have to deal with resurgent teams with tradition.

    Teams who have won WCs like SA, teams who have made 3 finals, like France. Teams who have made semis, 1987 and 2011, Wales.

    We have the worst record of the 6 Nations in WCs bar Italy.

    I’m loving the Toulouse trio
    Would have been nice to see it in Twickenham

    On the other hand, they are missing a bunch of players. Ireland would be in trouble in a similar situation.

    Huget having a whinge about someone else not covering the backfield after his display last week. What an absolute joke of a player ....

    I think that will eventually change and we might see it this world Cup that they get to semi final stage. England game was the best thing to happen to Ireland this year. Its a reality check and make them believe that they still have work to do.

    ... and then Huget blows a clear try scoring opportunity. Hope Ramos reams him out of it for that.

    Scotland are so lazy from a tackling standpoint. Guilty of ball watching so often that leads to linebreaks

    I think Scotland are making France look alot better than they actually are. The missed tackles by them is something astromical.

    Frances inability to score from anything but quick breaks is incredible.
    They're worse when playing with structure.

    While it was a reality check it knocked confidence too.

    Hope we get it back. It's a thin line between complacency and lacking confidence.

    What's dreadful about France today? A few wasted opportunities and some poor handling errors aside.

    Griggs size might be ok to shine at pro 14, bit I don't think he's big enough for test level.... He's spent more minutes today on his back than a cheap hooker
