Great steal from Healy there but awful pass from Sexton. Ball into the corner there was on instead.
What was BO’D so angry about? Unlike him. Sexton has been good other than that sloppy pass
Thats six points given away now from giving away possession far too easily in out half.
Some brutal handling errors and a shocking kick from O’Leary there too.
Have to cut down on the errors.
Very harsh penalty there. O’Callaghan had let go and should have been a penalty the other way.
Time to play a bit if territory. Early dominance might have made us over confident. Keep up the loops when it’s on and don’t want aimless kicks but need to play the corners a bit.
And thats why Tomas O Leary is there. Two great involvements in that score.
Not sure about our defence here. Earls and McFadden are deep and yet asked to cover the last two but no opportunity to come up and make the hit.
Thought BOD was in there but good patience. Sexton did well not to pass there because interception was on.
Thought BO’D got over under the posts. May have cost us two points. Agree completely with rocko. Need to play corners but more
was there any reason the ref could not have called O Learys try himself? he was right there looking at the ball placed ont he line? as good and all as the TMO is, referees coward out of a decisiont o go to it.
as lads have said, cut out the mistakes, and the game is there for the taking.
Easy way out to go upstairs I guess. Agreed about the mistakes bit, France look dangerous, but the errors is the one that keeping France in touch, great first 40 minutes on the whole though.
Yeah that was just passing the buck. Sometimes there’s no camera angle showing the grounding and no try is given even though it’s obvious to the referee, or should be anyway.
Good first half performance. Energy is there, just need more accuracy and to play more in their half. Balance between attacking them and making sure we don’t give them easy points.
Awful error to start the half.
Fortunate not to concede points in that spell. Now play in their half.
France targetting the out half channel a lot here, they do know speedbumps’s not playing right?
We aren’t playing this terribly clever at all. We’re in front and should br playing like that. Playing without ball or territory in this half.
Now that’s a gift from France. Need at least 3 points here.
Poor there, they game Earls nothing to work with on the end of that. Dont like to see Clerc arriving in.
Sexton continued with the move there when it wasnt on. Should have kept that.
P Wallace please. We need bit of direction and he would take bit of pressure off Sexton
