Conor Murray still may not play tomorrow.
A mixture of injury and personal issue.

Also hearing Ronan Kelliher not 100% and still a small linger.

If this anything like the France South Africa match its going to be brilliant. Both sides will eyeing this one up pre-tournament with France expecting to just show up V Italy whereas Ireland needed to make sure they didn't take too much eye off the ball v Wales. Really would be surpsied if France don't turn up to this one.

Ireland to win due to home field advanatage.

So put the mortgage on France...?

The France Wales double is looking tempting

No I'd still be confident. Conor will play but hopefully he is in right spot mentally to do it. Was a hard few days.

Doris v Aldritt and Ringrose v Fickou tomorrow are incredible match ups.

Doris owes Aldritt a few.

 

[Stade Rochelais]

France will win this match, Ireland is deprived of several holders.

Huge **** up that this isn't in the prime time slot by the 6n. I need to start drinking to warm up the vocal chords for screaming mildly xenophobic obscenities and the pubs aren't even open.

Think you're too good for a big bag of cans with the lads?

Match days start with a well poured Guinness. Open to anything after

As an Englishman just wanted to acknowledge the superb contest we're about to witness- first time the 6Nations has featured World #1 v #2 so this is massive for the Northern Hemisphere.

Really excited for this one and this will set the benchmark for the big three SH teams as well as the currently distant chasing pack of England, Wales and Scotland.

Enjoy this one folks, what a contest.

 

[Bluemoon]

Massive game this for Ireland from a long term perspective, have to win at home. Most likely the winner of the tournament will win this game. Really difficult to call!

Craig Casey the same height as the President.

Sexton will last 25 minutes. He looks more fragile than usual.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is Casey the smallest guy in international rugby ATM?
He genuinely looked shorter than the mascots they ran out with

 

[Reiser99]

James Lowe looks even worse with his hair down.

 

[Gavin]

Sexton looks pretty emotional, nearly in tears.
