This is why world cups are so tough… during the 6 nations Ireland would probably easily have scored that try when Earls dropped it.
Phew did anyone see the punch from O brien?
Amazing to think that the two games that have been the most epic so far in the WC, Aus v Wales and now this one, has had no tries scored in it.
In today’s basketball style rugby, it’s quite nice to enjoy a bit of a throwback to the 70’s and 80’s type tests

Another vital knock, Ireland can’t keep wasting the few opportunities they get
O Brien better help them win this game, if Ireland play the All Blacks next week he is facing a 2 week suspension for that punch 😕
France penalty, for a side entry by Ireland No 4, Devin Toner
Ireland steal the France lineout… and run it…
PSA looks like the calmest guy in the stadium, I guess he is used to the highs and lows of the emotion French rugby brings out
French discipline very impressive, they don’t concede silly penalties when Ireland are on the attack
Madigan’s passing game is sharp and crisp…
Great counter-ruck by Ireland.
They earn the penalty!

Frans sub they No 9 & 10… also Bernard le Roux on.

Ireland being massacred on the field by the French, score board still in their favor, and that’s what counts
Looks like France has conceded this game. Probably thinking about the ABs already…
Another Ireland player off on the stretcher cart… O’Mahony, it looks like
