            Very young 12 for France, Ireland have shown the ability to target inexperienced midfielders already

                  Hah, that was slick by Hansen. France made to look thoroughly stupid there.

                    Hansen in for Oirland straight from the kick-off.

                    Freakish start to the game. 17 points after 8 minutes.

                                Great comeback from Ireland. It was 22-7, now 22-21 after a couple of Irish tries. Some Test this now.

                                  France in again. The pace that they put on the ball is impressive.

                                    Try France by the Prop Baille. Conversion no good. 27-21.

                                          Irish penalty. They go for goal rather than the corner. Over. 27-24 to France with ten minutes to go.

                                              my stream is behind, waiting to see if it is awarded.

                                              Rocks in the head from an irish defender anyway - went to ground, elbows on the deck, scooped the ball. Clear penalty

                                                Officials looking at this again and again and again. French crowd not happy about this and booing very loudly.

                                                  yeah, it's crazy thatyou drop on the ball you carry, but if your arm is under it and you can't see clearly it could be ruled out. TMO baby - just award in real time and let it run

                                                                    The Irish commentator seemed to have an infatuation with 19 stone men. 😉

Case in point today, Andy Nichol: here comes the child-man. His musculature is incredible. WTF?

                                                                            On the game , always thought despite the Irish battling back to within a point , the French had the game in the bag..great breakdown work saw some superb counter rucking and fierce linespeed pressure on the Irish ball carriers saw handling errors ..
                                                                            A really enjoyable watch.

                                                                                  I don't think it was outrageous to call held up. The was a good chance that any evidence would be on the TMO replay.
