Fabien Galthie's Bordeaux-infused attack and renewed aerial focus exposed pressing issues Andy Farrell has yet to solve.
Ireland wing Jacob Stockdale contemplated giving up on international rugby before ending his five-year Guinness Six Nations exile …
Only a record defeat for England at home to Wales will spare Ireland from falling to fifth place in the world.
Ireland weren't expected to beat France but the manner of their defeat was alarming and serious questions now need to be asked in …
Don't take anything away from France, they were brilliant! Ireland very disappointing. The back 3 were poor, Ringrose, Van Der Flier and Jamieson Park didn't deliver as the usually do. Sam Prendergast was embarrassing. His body language at times when he had the ball, it was as if he didn't know how or where to play the ball and as for the missed tackles. Stewart McCloskey should, however, hold his head high.
LBB and Attissogbe 3 line breaks each.
Ouch. A hiding.
At half time if you Irish you just want to pack up and go home!
There’s the 15 points I predicted.
Roll the credits.
Galthie is showing bravado, Farrell wants to stamp his boot!
What an opening game here. It really could be a draw,,prendergrasts boot shadowing a refreshing bleues backline busting wide tries! lol. Its a 50 point game.
Wow, it was exactly a 50 point game.
Both benches are 6/2!?
Quick, someone organise a GoFundMe so that Matt Williams can be clean underwear!
