6N '25 Ireland v France Match Thread: Sat8th Mar 2:15 Farewell & Adieu to you POMs, Murrays & Healys

Prendergast is so limited… what was that kick

Porter hit on the head there I thought

Some kick

Need this, big time 6-8,just

Brilliant, Sam. Huge score that

That's a huge kick for Prendergast's confidence - he needed that after a poor half

some kick!

A little bit of redemption for Prendergast at the end with the kicked penalty after a largely poor first half.

Good lad Sam.

Now we need to gather ourselves. The French bomb squad plan is out the window. If we execute calmly and improve discipline we'll be good.

I think Ireland have advantage, every French back has to finish the game and they've put in some serious work in that half

Osborne has shown some lovely touches in attack and his long kicking has troubled the France backfield. He's probably been the pick of the backs so far.

Keenan has looked good too, bar the decision to pass to Prendergast when the latter was on the touchline with three France players in close proximity.
