    Ffs Gardner has rode us bareback today.

    Every decision gone Frances way

    And yet some think he's the messiah. He's been very poor today. Not the reason we've lost but part of that.

    Was a tough ask with Nash and Osbourne in for Hansen & Lowe. Really needed to capitalise on the good start and better manage game when we went ahead.

    Ridley saying it's a yellow because it's so close to the line. Overruled by Gardner. 🤔

    I really think prendergast should have been pulled at half time. He’s had a really mediocre game.

    you can’t rely on refs having a perfect game to win. but every loss on this forum has a go at the refs. Ireland didn’t score a try early on despite dominating the French. That’s not the ref.

    Been a long time since I've seen Ireland as brainless as they have been today. You don't try and maul over their try line from open play, it was always going to be held up

    We had numbers coming through there, if he doesn't deliberately knock on we have an opportunity to score. Overruling his TMO and touch judges to screw us again.

    Even the linesmen are openly baffled by some of Gardner's decisions now.

    Every decision, everything is going Frances way. It would have been some odds on some of the calls today and no cards. How many total penalties against France now and not even a warning.

    "Just a penalty" because there's no overlap...not like they've been cynically giving away penalties all game on their own line that might warrant a yellow...

    Ridiculous.

    Kicking the ball away again.

    Our number 10 just doesn't threaten the line

    You can't and we haven't played well today

    But it's clear as day the ref's decisions have been questionable, they're even being questioned by own team

    How to show you don't really know much about the game of rugby in one sentence.

    I don't have to elaborate on yellow cards, getting held up over the line, Gardner etc.

    This poster, who can't spell lost, knows it all.

    watch the crowd all you can see is event junkies making everyone on their row stand up as they come back from the bar with their egg carton of pints- worst crowd in Irish sport

    The French tackling has been superb. Our pack struggled all day. Well done France.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    100% not suprised by this result. Its been coming. We have no leadership or direction at 10 ala Sexton or O'Gara.

    We conceded one try in his absence. The second try (which shouldn't have been allowed to stand) was scored before he got binned. The fourth was scored after he returned.

    He is absolutely not the reason we lost.

    Sympathy card now when it's too late to matter.
