Thought the Ireland/France match was very good, looked at one point as thought Ireland would lose it by not keeping ball in hand as a lot of their deep kicking did little or nothing to gain territory. You need to be very brave to try that on the French IMHO as they are one of the best running rugby teams out there, probably the best in Northern hemisphere. It was good to see a generally flowing match not dominated by forward play, you can usually guarantee that from the French if they are allowed to get away with it. Missed the England/Italy game but by all accounts it was a tad lacklustre. |
