I wouldn’t be especially optimistic of an Irish win today, but this team is worthy of our support, and led by a man, Paul O’Connell, who exudes the very best of Irish values.
A team that represents the whole island in wonderful fashion.
Massive difference between facing a primed French side in the World Cup and playing them in a February friendly when they’re largely uninterested and fatigued by their intense club schedule.
Ah fuckit in for a penny in for a pound. I have always thought a northern hemisphere team had every chance of winning this and have seen nothing yet to change that opinion. O’Brien’s shot into Pape’s gut was glorious. Do it for Pauli lads.
