France vs Ireland ... score predictions & more ........ :)

Wobbler of a pass by JGP dropped but Ireland gets it back somehow.

Great score France. Wonderful stuff.

Ollivon's got some wheels for a lock. 22-0

Feels like Ireland need to slow the game down and frustrate France.

Yeah, France can sense that Ireland can't hang with their pace.

They take a quick throw, spread it back and forth across the field end up scoring a beautiful try.

22-0

Seriously how bloody skinny is pretender?

Doesn't he know that protein shakes exist?

Nice hands France, Le Beep Beep had to make a snap kick and couldn't keep it in.

France right back in Irelands half with a lineout.

...and damn France have some nice hands

Osborne creating trouble in his own 22 by not booting it clear. JGP now clears.

Maybe Prenny's a vegan.

Fast and loose is not how you want to play France - spot on mr commentator.

Terrible half for Ireland.

Heavens knows why they insist on trying to play quick rugby against French.

Well that half went by like nothing. Entertaining stuff by the French. Ireland needs to tighten things up, but that is kinda hard to do when you are 22 down with one half to go.

Ireland defos a fading team. England's pack are gonna rip them up.

I’m sure you’re enjoying Jellybear, Pakie ;)

Not going at all well for Ireland. They look lost out there.

Old Jelly's had his moments, Becs :)

The French gave the Irish a l ession on how rugby should be played.

Is Prendergast really the best 10 in Ireland?

It's exactly in a game like this where you need a 10 to take it to the line but that's just not an option for him.

And it's still why I think Hendrikse needs to be there with Sacha. Not that Sacha can't take it to the line but Hendrikse is really durable and chunky. He'll run at bodies and slow the game down.

This flimsy lightweight Ireland have looks like his ribs can be broken by a wet biscuit haha

Just watched the replay of the Jellybear try. Prenny is clueless on defensive positioning, remember him fanning out against the Boks to leave JGP alone to eat Sacha's handoff?

Yeah, he flew right past Jailbert

Let's hope for Ireland's sake that it's a game of two halves

Let's howl for Ireland's sake

Arrrroooooooooooooooooooooo!

Ha, you didn't fix it before I could exploit it.

France starting off like a house on fire. Kickable penalty but they go for touch. Ireland win the maul defense and possession.

Commentary saying France are a nightmare to defend against.

...I think anything is a nightmare to defend against when you have NO line speed. Ireland are just letting France do whatever they wan.

Lovely maul defence by Ireland under pressure.

Yeah you need to smother France like the Boks did.

Relieving penalty for Ireland from the scrum.

Anton dabs it over the top, flykick from Ramos, Le Beep Beep gets and toddles through. What a weapon.

BB scores after a flying kick from Ramos

Im telling you, Sacha is changing the game.

Ireland wings look pedestrian.

Ireland is probably going to blame Nienaber for confusing their defense structures.

Now Ramos slices them open.

Stav, you have some explaining to do about this performance.

Holy shit this is lovely rugby. Sure, kak defense but after watching our URC sides boot the crap out of the ball and not get the ball past 10, this is a breath of fresh air.

Let's have a howl for Ireland's sake, Stav.

Ireland making a bunch of subs.

Better from Ireland but they spill it.

Agreed, Pakie. The Frenchies look like they've never dropped a ball in their lives.

...and no Ireland scrum gets demolished

Nowhere to hide

Cracker of a turnover Ireland.

Prenny with the intercept pass. France just didn't have pace in the last receiver otherwise try time.

Now pretender chucks an intercept and damn was a nice offload by the Frenchie post contact

That was some offload yeah.
