struggling to understand why the irish are favourites,their play so far has been one dimensional and obvious,can`t see blasting through the middle and relying on set pieces working against the French,who in contrast have looked very dangerous,you take a risk with the French but the value on the French price is to good to turn down,french win for me

thye can't form a solid attack without turning it ove
IRE arent pinged for infringing at the loose in anyway, they can slap balls from anywhere, incl offsides in a loose at a no 9 in front of him.
some big draw prices being picked up for a one score game
French appear hapless... dink it over you mugs they are so flat...
When IRISH hung off drive vs the Boks they got a free kick... France do it nothing?
Ireland!
good thinking that man
Well played IRE
Under pressure at HT but Fra never came out of the sheds.
Ozy gutted he doesn't bet and didn't have any even money

talking rubbish
Ireland have won this.. at great cost though French deserve to lose.. ARG will take them they execute better and care more.
you risk it when you put the money down on france after this shambles they`ll probably beat the all blacks next week
And don't be talking to me about POC and the market
the silly thing is that France could yet beat the ABs
Fra can't be any worse next week. HT was the end of their game unfortunately.
Done my cash there. Useless frogs. Offered nothing at all.
nz wouldn't want the french, can beat anyone on their day
France definitely have more chance of beating the AB's than Ireland would have.So I'm happy the way this game has panned out.
IRE player pulls prop down ... Barnes Pen IRE.. lol
that's the thing with france, this team / next weeks team is anyones guess ...
Argies in semis a real possibility. Would be good to see them there again.
French execution is atrocious they actually making me think ENG were sharp..
french second best from second one,never looked like they were in it
Underdogs again vs the Argies next week, love it, suits us perfectly.
Ireland 10.5
Argentina 38
I doubt you'll be underdogs

Well done to all, especially those who predicted an Irish win beforehand and stuck with it throughout the game

stewrads...whole forum will expect us to lose, just like today
All Black vs AUS final nailed on ? LOL.. nope... The Chokers have never beaten the Green and Gold in a WC.. plenty to do.. at Semi though clearly French will be easily ousted.. dare we say this.. do they have a single sharp performance in them.. seem undercoached and not sharp..
SA by at least 7 and Ire v Arg up to 3 points either way.
Hope SOB won't be cited, didn't see the punch myself.
Madsers in tears, hopefully the Munster Faithful will finally show him some love
and respect.
and respect.
Ireland wanted it more, were like flies round $hit every time France had the ball. France poor and slow, won't present a problem for NZ this time round.
IRE vs AUS could be a good contest... if both make it through
Can you imagine coaching the surrender monkeys? Totally diccked today. Will probably turn the New Zealanders over next week. You'd have a heart attack.
dunno why im blaming the irish ha,french fckers never showed
Anyone know what the the HT odds were in the outright market?
I was allegedly balls deep on Ireland when it looked like they would lose, then it was alleged I didn't have a shilling on them when they won T'was ever thus!
SOB in trouble.....does the citing have to come from the French camp?

France weren't allowed play. Dominated everywhere.
unsure what caused obrien to punch that frog..................hes a country lad farmers son from co carlow...........tough as teak but had to be provoked........just isnt his nature................fcukin shame as he was coming back to his best..........
if sexton is out of quaters ireland and obrien is banned ireland should be 20s in outrights
sort of like a deja vue via wales predictment.
pity wales didnt pull it off after their immense effort but like ireland anyone would be a fool to write them off vis called it right when he said ire vs arg 3 pt match could go anyway
on tony galvins advice backed arg at 95 and 55 but fcuk it its the WC as im sure the english as host nation must be aware of and patriotically had a monkey with a mate saying ire would advance further than eng........which is a little consolition as england vs australia cost me 6000 in treble

on wcup website scmitt said with regards injuries paul oconnell is bggest worry and that scans will be carried out tommorrow on sexton and o mahony
Could probably cope without them for Quarters but need them all for the semis, if they were to progress.
sean o brien will defintely be cited for that punch... stupid mistake as he will be banned for the rest of the tournament
Just seen the punch now, agreed, will miss the rest of the tournament. Cant see them coping (potentially) without 4 of their best players......
looks like oconnel is out of tourny hes torna ligament.......irish independent reports sexton may be fit for saturday.........this could be a bad thing as i remember recently ireland played an unfit sexton and heislip in a big match both had shockers........if he is deemed playable i would prefer see him on the bench and only brought on if things start going tits up ,,,
im not condoning obriens action but as i said earlier what action provoked his reaction

Whatever it was may go some way in terms of mitigation but they are some way away from the ruck in question and Pape isn't giving it him at the time he takes a free swing into his solar plexus. Doesn't look good at all.
ya something to do with a previous encounter thiink hes kinda up s**t ccreek and aint got no paddle
I think O'Brien and the French player were running back to the play from a breakdown or something when a bit of jostling occurred ... it happened to me once though we were about 50 metres away :)
from where the play now was (we must have been on the bottom of a ruck)
it can easily develop into punches but in this case O'Brien missed out a few phases such as elbows, pushing and barging and went straight for a big one !

It possibly relates back to last seasons 6 Nations when Pape's blatant knee to the back ended Heaslip's 6 Nations (and his own following a citing).
Still it was a dumb decision, the start of thing that can happen early on in a game if you are too hyped. Fingers crossed for just a one week suspension.

Ireland trying to play the 'it wasn't a closed fist' card.
POM out for the tournament.
Ireland 69% posession, 72% terrritory btw.

you would think beating them was the best revenge of all.
it was a cheap shot and gross stupidity too.
mind you with only about two dozen tv cameras in the ground he was very unlucky anyone noticed

what was he thinking.
stupid mistake.
he could cost his team a place in the semi finals.. Ireland without 4 of their best players now

SOB not has not been cited after all then.
i think the way certain nations have been dealt with over citings compared to others is something there will be rumblings & grumblings about after the tournament has finished.
meanwhile the australian citing commissioner has cited two scottish players prior to their game with err....australia.
i'm sure the guy is honest as the day is long but was it really sensible to have an aussie doing that job for that match?

My mistake SOB wasn't on the first list of citings
but he will have to face the citing panel after all

The best coach and the shinning light for the northern hemisphere. The injuries are a pity but they will be fine.
