    Byrne having his best game in green. That crossfield was great, and was firing players up around him. Feels like that try came from a buildup of that extra energy from him and Casey and intensity from players off the bench.

    Can we also acknowledge just how good R.Byrne has been? Hasnt missed a beat since Sexton went off.

    I'm so happy France slipped three or four tackles there, it was beautiful.

    France can't keep up the intensity.

    Relax. Three games to go. Favoured, yes. But anything can happen. England and Scotland both tough games.

    England are completely rubbish. Scotland are Scotland.

    It’s not as easy as just saying a team are rubbish. On the day so much can make a difference between winning and losing.

    Seriously impressive performance against a France side that would have beaten anyone else in the world today. Especially early substitutions and some key players missing.


    Very, very satisfying win, and a cracking game.

    France were gassed after 60 minutes, great depth in the Ireland squad. Ireland much fitter than France.

    He truly is.

    And his conditioning is mind boggling for a human. Beyond all superlatives.

    I think that’s the Best 80 min performance I’ve ever seen from Ireland, high quality game from both teams.

    Doris was unbelievable particularly in the last 3rd of the game. Ireland look in great shape for the rest of the year. Squad is brimming with ability.

    Well that was really enjoyable.

    Can’t wait to see what TRC10 finds to complain about.

    seagulls will be quiet today.

    Porter 0 penalties today?

    I said a few days ago Ireland would win comfortably....

    So did awec I believe....

    Ireland were not troubled at all in the 2nd half....made France look very ordinary without key players...

    Farrell has built great depth...huge credit must go to him...

    I can now actually imagine Ireland navigating 7 games in a WC to go and win it......

    Id start Ross Byrne and craig casey vs Italy....reward them.
