To be fair to them they did anything but fucking surrender yesterday. I dunno what it is about playing us but they always pull out a huge performance. The physicality in yesterday's game was insane as well. Think one of the Beeb commentators mentioned you might not notice it just watching on telly but when you see close-ups of the players and there's cuts all over their faces and bodies, you get a sense of the battering they were giving eachother. Szarzewski being an example.

Brilliant weekend. Atmosphere in the Stade de France is electric €120 is looking like a fuckin bargain haha. Apparently wasn't a huge Irish contingent in the stadium? Though you's made yourselves heard anyway.

aye it feels like it now anyway. Yeah loads of Irish fans in the stadium, scattered around the place. got 8/1 in a French Bookmakers that O Driscoll would get Man of the Match so threw €50 on that too. He was pretty poor tbh but even the French have sentimentalality.

Yeah he said himself it's a bit of a farce getting 2 MOTM's in a row for his last two games but like you said, no real surprise. Thought Henry or Trimble were MOTM myself.

Bumping this because the rugby season is starting up again and every Irish rugby fan had a lovely day today with the news Sexton looks nailed on to be coming back to Leinster when his contract is up in France. Seriously fantastic news for the national team

Not really? Madigan has had last season and will have this season to prove himself and push himself forward as Ireland's best back up to Sexton. Sexton is top 3 in the world level in terms of 10s where at time last season Madigan wasn't top 3 in Ireland.
Sexton's our most important player and with the World Cup next year it's vital the IRFU have control over his training and things again once his contract is up. Madigan has another season to prove his worth, whether at 10 or 12

notpropagandai know how good Sexton is but it's just a bit demmoralizing that however he performs next season, he'll be back to being back-up outhalf such is the stigma about Sexton
