Yeah not many teams do that to the French in France. Domination from start to finish really. You guys looked very focussed. As ever incredibly drilled. I thought Crowley was excellent.

The test is, how poor were the French, they definitely lacked DuPonts magic, speed and unpredictability? I guess we will find out next weekend!

But a record win against the French and a record win in France for you guys. That’s your toughest fixture on paper dispatched pretty easily.

Slam on?

What a player Joe McCarthy looks. ****ing Leinster

Impressive from the boys in green

BOD saying that he thought France were really poor. Tend to agree. Ireland aren’t the team to show up with anything other than your best.

It’s on as we’ve 3 at home and Eng away which is never easy. It all depends on injuries - we missed Mack Hansen and Gary Ringrose but I thought Nash on debut did well

Crowley played ok but a few bad decisions cost us - he missed one east kick but nailed the rest. I had us losing that by 10, I’m still buzzing this morning

I was listening to some post match stuff, France had a big turn over in coaches after the WC so perhaps that’s why they were a bit disjointed as well. You said it earlier though - DuPont is so good, how much is he missed and Ntamack as well

They are away to ye next - they’ll now be pumped for that

Yeah that’s a bit of a worry. I don’t think they can play that badly twice, they made so many mistakes lacked cohesion were knocking on, really unlike them.

They’ve always got a red card in them tho.

Good start from Italy, but England starting to play now. 10-8.

[Buzzo]

Wow. What a try.

[Buzzo]

England on top. Definite signs of more attacking intent and structure from England than over the past few seasons. 17-21 ten mins into second half.

You have to play well to beat Italy these days that’s for sure.

If you get them away first game, it’s as tough as you can ask for.

Has Buzzo spontaneously combust?

[Buzzo]

Close. We made hard work of that. Never had a W felt more like a D.

[Buzzo]

Quite a trad Scottish performance from Wales to be fair.

On that first weekend Ireland look miles better than everyone else.
