    French player jumped into a ruck from the side before that penalty, don’t know how it was missed.

    Casey has massive potential but an Irish shirt is not the place for it I.

    Why not...he's probably better than all the others you mentioned already

    Ringrose and Henshaw need to make more of an impact. We're not tying in defenders at all

    I fail to see what mike Catt is bringing to our attack

    Secondly we are crying out for a dynamic 8

    JGP gifted France a try with a poor defensive decision, were mincing France up front and we haven't the half backs to capitalise

    Blade sitting in Galway, similar to DuPont

    I would swap out herring out at half time. Set piece going ok but he’s a bit lost in open play.

    France are very well organised with some classy players.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Stander has been one of our better players so far with ball in hand. He's offloaded and made ground every time.

    Be nice if the merchants that will come up with standers small yard gain for high carrying stats could watch how many players are tackling him every time he gets the ball.



    Cian Healy a spent docket already.

    Hint of a knock on by France at the end there which was missed.

    JVF taken out off the ball twice there and Beirne knocked over by someone in a ruck holding his legs.

    Keenan Beirne and Ruddock too

    Keenan is playing very well at 15, out line out/scrum is on top and Ruddock is doing great stuff. Unfortunately I think France are just better than us

    Andy Farrell is hopeless. This team could be winning games, have plenty of quality but he's hopeless. Choice of outhalf ridiculous.

    At that last ruck Le Roux took out VDF beyond the ruck and then attempted another foot trip on JGP. I think we could get to him. Another yellow and his day is over

    Sure if we are playing “heads up rugby” whys there a need for an attack coach?

    3 points a poor return for our efforts. Hugo just needed to hold a split second bon his pass to Lowe.

    Big momentum changer.

    France the better team in the first have but Ireland not bad either but could be better. I blame the TMO for saying the try was not a try when it was a try.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    No invention in attack and couldn't exploit a 14 man France.

    Appointing Catt might have been a mistake.

    Some blatant sealing off ignored there, repeatedly

    France haven't even turned up today and yet they're winning. Manager should be out on his ear.

    Ten is a bigger issue, but still:
    Carthy

    Burns is playing better than I expected tbh.

    I agree loads of good 9,s.
    10 is a problem.

    Big calls to be made by Farrell at half time. France there for the taking but Burns and JGP clearly not up to it. Does Farrell have the courage to call that he made the wrong selection and change it at half time.

    That whole sequence was comical. The level of sealing off was out of this world. As well as the off the ball "clearing" of any poaching threat
