France making some real dumb errors
France penalty, 50m out… on halfway
Spedding for goal again… almost the same spot as before
Better by France – just!

Who do you want to win, Nortie’s nemesis or Ireland?
Typical hard 6 Nations game.
I feel France look slightly stronger at this stage…but early days yet.
Ireland definitely the sharper team so far
Ireland penalty, after a Sexton drop goal hits the upright, high up!
If the intensity in this game continues for 80 minutes these players, as well as the supporters….and us viewers, will be knackered
Ireland 6 / 3 France

Bastareaud is mobile for a fatty, hey!
Seems I am the only one backing France here
High tackle by Peter O’Mahony
46 @ The_Young_Turk:
I think all of the rest of us want a Quarter between France vs All Blacks
Sexton better get up and stay on…if he must go then Ireland have some problems
Ireland 6 / 6 France
So France have their own version of the Frans Steyn cica 2009
Sexton still down, receiving attention.
Ireland scrum on about the France 10m line
Ireland committing suicide by trying to play a loose game against France.
They need to grind and play structured, get into the right side of the field and milk penalties
Sexton is replaced!!
Ian Madigan on for Sexton…

Advantage France, huge swing into their favor
Ex South African Scott Spedding has quite an impact on the game so far.. interesting to note he was in matric at St Johns Jhb together with 2x TdF champion Chris Froome.
Picamoles just got rid of the Irish kingpin?
Ireland penalty, for a tackle without the ball
@ grootblousmile:
I know that, but after the loss to Japan I feel that the the Boks have to meet and beat the strongest teams to deserve the cup. And plus I think Oz pose more of a threat to the Boks than the ABs. Maybe France can knock out Australia for the Boks instead and when we beat the ABs we can face France in the final!
I think Madigan is a better attacking flyhalf for Ireland… maybe not as accurate at posts though!
