    Ireland need to ensure they hit their man in the line out

    Mistakes the only thing keeping France in the game right now. Got away with Osbourne's poor exit but a second lost lineout lead to that. Soft tackling after a great Gleeson turnover.

    Bit of French magic too ofcourse, which is part for the course

    We are not kicking well out of hand and not kicking when we should be.

    The wingers have been caught in possession a few times when they should have put boot to ball.

    The french are getting away with plenty of side entries at the breakdown

    That's a harsh call. He barely had hands on the ball before being cleared out.

    France getting scores much easier than Ireland, we seem to have to work harder to get into the red zones, our kicking game is allowing France run wild back against us.

    Ah here, they've given away more penalties in the red zone. Stupid decision to pull that one down though after just getting warned.

    It's definitely much harder work for us, hopefully that will pay off by tiring out the French

    We got to their line twice and scored twice.

    We have kept them out a number of times.

    All to play for just need to stay within a score of them all the time. Cant let them get more than 10/12 points up.

    We wouldn't be going to 13. We have a LH on the bench.

    Well in their own half and have given away a couple breakdown penalties to France. Would have been risky enough. Sometimes best to just get the chance to reset.
