Irel;and v France

Oh what a wonderful day.

Can you imagine how good it would be for you if you'd had 1F returning last night too?

How right you are Snipe. But I did have him returning last night. I don't think of rugby as four provinces and then Ireland, it is Ireland and its provinces.

It is more positives for us all. That and Tommy Bowe coming back also.

Now about Olding moving to Munster.........

Joe and the squad delivered the goods and that is it. Anything else is myopic begrudgery

Catch yerself on snipe

Myopic begrudgery in Ireland... never heard of such a thing!

It's the national sport.

Even if he could be persuaded it wouldn't be worth it. I reckon the Northern meltdown could further threaten the polar ice cap.

What a day to be an Irishman in Paris!
It was a funny game with each side ebbing and flowing.
We missed easy kicks and so dd they. Maybe it was the Beijing like smog over Paris that was the problem.
At least the public transport was free for the weekend.
They should have won at the end but made a mess of a forward pass and we got lucky.
Brian had a special send off and now on to his next send off... He must have a few before the season ends.

Joe was held in deep suspicion on this forum but has proved his quality.
He has more players to come in.
The future is bright for the sport that unites Irish people at this time of our National Holiday.
Enjoy it all.

Joe was held in deep suspicion? By who exactly?

Sure. we're a suspicious lot.

EOS and Deccie were also probably held in deep suspicion. Then they proved their worth for a while and then we grew to hate them. Wonder how long Joe's got

Fixed - don't forget to tune in to the Cricket World T20 from Bangaldesh to see Ireland show their worth against the world once more.

Starting with Zimbabwe on St Pat's day a wee win would put us in pole position to qualify for the Super 10 Series.

(Does this require a seperate thread elsewhere?)

If France had a T20 cricket team you might just have got away with it

brilliant. saw the Ireland pic last night during celebrations but hadn't seen the English one it was in response to!

[Snipe Watson]

Listen up Sarries.

That is how you do a response..........

Did anyone else think the (English) TMO was going to bottle the call on the forward pass before Steve Walsh, the world's best straight referee, made the call himself?

They dwelt on that "hands going forward" aspect for a worrying period.
