Off Topic The Rugby Thread

In the Old Port of Marseille right now. The atmosphere is cracking. There is huge mutual respect for both teams. Looking forward to a good game. May the best team win. Enjoy.

 

Championship deciding game, on the very first night of the competition

 

It is a cauldron inside the stadium, 10k Irish and 57k French. Very hard for the away side. I fancy the home team strongly.

 

enjoy

 

Ireland destroying France on the pitch but not fully reflective on the scoreboard yet

 

17 3s looking good

 

Just like your prediction league efforts mate. Enjoy the rest of the game.

 

Fine performance by Ireland so far.... should be further ahead.....

Great tackle by Keenan saves a try, France upping the anti just before half time

 

There ya go

 

France score right as the clock turns red

 

This game only getting going

 

Willismsea a bloody clown

 

Well timed try by a wounded France before HT, but they won't keep that up, so I see Ireland finishing strongly for a well deserved win

 

we’ve subdued France on and off the pitch. worrying the game not over.

 

Big 15 minutes coming up....

 

Re-commencing my annual campaign to have these penalties given for random things seemingly made up by the referee at random changed to free kicks.

 

It'll be a good 2nd half

 

That's a great try by Ireland

 

I think it’s fair to say this is a physically huge Irish team and they’re bullying France all over the pitch
