That should have been a YC

Do you have a bet on a YC or something?

One arm on the floor is not a tackle

Not every penalty is a YC

Evidently

Good performance by France, I thought Irish looked a lot of times like they were not on same page. I think when you watch French backline who went well, they were made to look even better by a confused looking Irish mob.
Good to see the 6Ns underway anyway!

Prendergast looks like Temu Sexton - apart from the diving, crying and indignation. He's got that down pat.

For a tall, lanky player he looks unco running. Very short strides for someone with long legs.

I was surprised the TMO didn't look at the first Irish try. They had a penalty for the no-arms tackle but it looked like a knock on from that tackle.

France looked like a team that was playing with no inhibitions what so ever ,full of confidence and backing their skill and Du Pont is the maestro who does the right thing at the right time
Ireland looked bewildered in the first half and sadly the game plan looked so 2022
Reminded me of the ABs team post 2015-2019

France were majestic at times.
Really looking forward to seeing that against Wales next week

It's amazing talent that the Walrus has to be wrong about absolutely everything to do with rugby.

@sparky didn't catch the whole game but I thought it was pretty nifty thinking for the adverts. Great way to please everyone, in the half our I watched I didn't miss any of the 18 scrum resets.

You did not watch the good half hour.

[sparky]

This game broke the record in France for the TV audience for an opening 6 Nations game: 7.24 million viewers.

Rugby is massive in France at moment.

7,24 millions is the average number of viewers for the whole game. Actually, 11 millions watched it, partially or fully.
