[2025 Six Nations] Ireland vs France - 8/3/25

[Reiser99]

Rare to see Ireland looking like they don't know what to do.

Championship is over. Nice one Ireland

 

[dirty harry]

This could get nasty...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly had to double check this wasn't England playing France

 

[Jimbo]

It’s the French D which has really stood out, its vintage Edwards.

Ireland are a funny team. They're clearly very good, but they always seem to buckle in those big moments.

 

[dirty harry]

It's one of those rare opportunities for this Ireland team to galvinise and overcome the odds...

Last 2 world cups they've failed heavily when under pressure, they really need to pull something out

 

[Ddanno]

Can't remember the last time Ireland were monstered like this

 

[Jimbo]

Prendergash thinks he's a pound shop Sexton with that loop.

 

[McTallshort]

Ireland are a different team without Lowe...still a twat

 

[ChicagoKid]

Pendergast is not physically ready for this. He looks slow, weak, and overall a massive defensive liability.

Ireland aren't asking any questions either too predictable, only so many loops they can make.
Sexton can change his gameplay up Prendergast can't yet, and with the Irish forwards looking powderpuff the defence don't need to commit much

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Predergast on the loop

Sexton on the sofa at home:

Our refusal to compete on defensive ball with 3 top defensive jumpers is baffling.

7 1 working unfortunately well. Very hard to counter this when not at full strength.

You could say this is a Lowelight for them

ha ha ha

Strange comment considering they have won three championships in a row and two grand slams in that run.

 

[Saintjay]

Seen more lively wakes than this Dublin crowd.

 

[curtbob7]

‘Ireland not getting the rub of the green’

oh give over

Not to take anything away from them, but I'd argue the others teams were not playing well in most of those.

England are stuck wheel spinning, France were not quite strong enough yet and Wales were in the early build stage.

hmmm he will learn a lot from a game like this though.
