      The French simply respect rugby and the Irish display great rugby. They would have shown same respect to anyone else unless the team or their fans have a strong reputation for not being fair play. The Irish team doesn't. Not respecting a team like Ireland, that simply shows poor character.

    Congratulations from a French supporter to an outstanding Irish team, a well-deserved victory against a painfully outclassed French team. We can't hide behind dubious refereeing, we can't blame bad luck or missing star players, Ireland was just better than us, period. I hope France will bounce back, Ireland gave us a much needed humbling

    • @puccaland
      @puccaland 4 месяца назад +1

      Agree with all what you said but the fact that some key players were missing is part of the problem. Not because they are key players but because the team is used to playing with those players.
      The French team we saw last night was a makeshift team and they couldn't be in synch. You can have all the best players you want if they aren't in total cohesion they cannot win at such level. Against a top Irish team it shows even more. They will have to learn to play together. Meaning that Galthié will have to find another option that his 2019 backbone. This is heading this way but they need time to find that cohesion. I guess the tournament is lost for France but at least it will serve to create a new cohesion for the team and when the key players will be back they will have to learn to play all together with the various combinations. So far France relied too much on the same players to bring that cohesion.

    • @michaelmcnamara4838

      Of course you’ll bounce back!!
      I feared for ireland in this game - First round, toughest match - no Johnny sexton- against an opposition who are awesome on their day..
      And in their own back yard!!!
      I felt if we could just stay with France.. make the game tight.. settle for a loosing bonus point would be a good result.
      Chasing a game with 14 for so long is too much at this level and your team got over the line before the break when they really had to. That shows true character..
      It sent a tone and the game very much alive.
      Ireland played very well today and fortunately for us, France were not quite themselves?
      You will come good!
      Allez Les Bleus!!

Still, there might be some hope left for the future, considering the up-and-coming U20 World Cup winners who will bring much needed fresh blood. In 2020, Galthié let many young, talented and green players in, maybe it's Time to part with some disappointing veterans... We'll see

      @@michaelmcnamara4838 Thanks for these kind words. We lacked humility and team cohesion while Ireland had those in spades! I almost believed in a comeback when Ireland was only +7 on the lead, but hey, we did not deserve it last night.
      French supporters and players are still haunted by the string of underwhelming and infuriating performances between 2012 and 2019. Being knocked out of the 2023 World Cup and thoroughly defeated Yesterday really brought back some nasty memories. Seems like les Bleus didn't get over the 2023 Quarterfinals yet, another lesson we should take from Ireland. Next up is Scotland, they've been the bane of French Rugby in 2020 and 2021, defeated us once during WC preparation, and are probably the second strongest team nowadays. Les Bleus need to pull their fingers out and do some soul-searching ASAP. I hope Ireland will keep on playing this good, and we really learn from this defeat.

    • @puccaland
      @puccaland 4 месяца назад +1

      @@Prof_de_Jeux Yes but last year it was the all time best Irish team. A mature team when the French team was still in the middle of its gaining maturity process to be ready at the WC. There was no reason why France wouldn't lose against them. They couldn't remain undefeated forever and Ireland was number one or soon to be, don't remember.
      But this time, although that Irish team is strong, it is also a new team being built in Ireland with key players gone for good. They were totally in synch as if they had played in this configuration for years. If the French team had aligned more players used to playing together at this level the scenario wouldn't have been the same. The score is the same as last year but let's not forget that the French played at 14 most of the game. Any other team would have been crushed by the Irish side. At this level every single detail counts. The French were clearly out of their depth like they couldn't communicate properly. The Irish managed to be back on business right away the French didn't.
      Dupont, Ntamack etc aren't missed because they are great players, but because of their reading of the game and the cohesion they bring to the team.

    5:09 That delayed disguised short pass to Byrne was brilliant. At the time i thought it was just awful defending because i didnt actually see the pass live, i think everyones eyes (including mine) had moved away from Byrne thinking he had overrun and would not receive the ball, also Byrnes inward running angle opened a massive gap outside him where Lowe and Henshaw had looped around and looked like the main attacking threat, that half second pass delay and the widening gap outside forced Danty to take a half step out, Crowleys quick look back to James Lowe, it looked like Byrne had already run ahead of Crowley and the defenders were just shifting their focus across to the second line when the almost sleight-of-hand pass was suddenly in Byrnes hands and he has was galloping free. Worth re-watching the subtle elements of that pass again. That try involved so much more than what i saw live. Kind of sums up Irelands attack, never quite sure where the ball is going, options all over the place and defenders end up slightly out of position, attackers tend to get hit with soft shoulders allowing them to get over the gain line nearly every time.

Never a try, in my opinion, and straight after the try was given by the TMO we got a much closer angle, which clearly showed the ball wasn't grounded over or on the line before he lost possession, he even trys to grab the ball afterwards, why do that if you've already scored the try !

I unfortunately expect more defeat to come for France, and against average teams, like England for example. The Scots could easily beat us, since they're in much better shape than England. The only teams we could still defeat at the moment are the Welsh and Italians. Goodbye, my strong French team 😢

    Yes, it was a convincing win. However, France were down a man for 2/3 of the game and they didn't have their champion, Du Pont, so that should temper overconfidence in the Irish camp. The game against England in Twickenham is still ahead and it should be remembered that they gave the world champions, South Africa, a strong challenge in the semi final of the World Cup. It's very premature to be thinking about an Irish Grand Slam at this point.

      And still there are always people with a childish reading of things. All the decisions are explained live and the first was yellow with a bunker and remained yellow, the second was the same and was changed into a red immediately. The referee doesn't see all the actions live and the video isn't always clear and there is no time to review everything live that's why they created the current system.

      @puccaland 4 месяца назад

      @@ryuk9415 No it's not. Read world rugby's rules again. Hitting the head is yellow or red depending on the circumstances.
      In the first Willemse got yellow because it was considered miscalculation. We watch comfortably sitting in our sofa with TMO and all but on the pitch everything is going super fast. There is no sign that he aimed at the head.
      The second he clearly made a rookie mistake by not hitting low enough. But it was clearly not on purpose. He already got a yellow so it was red anyway but it was upgraded to direct red precisely because it was a basic mistake, the players have to hit low to tackle, he didn't and it was dangerous. Again, live, things are too fast to analyse everything perfectly all the time.
      At least the situation was taken cared of by TMO and Willemse will be asked to get his act together. With a direct red the tournament is probably over for him. So much we can say about Porter who has a long track record of making dangerous fouls and his dangerous action on Danty's throat. They didn't even bother watching it.
      All to say that claiming the referee was trying to help France is spurious and that the players in a very intensive physical match played quite clean and showed great fair play. Both sides. I don't see where you have seen frustrated French players. They were out of their depth, but neither frustrated nor angry at the Irish. Willemse got to the bin because technically he was amateurish leading to dangerous actions, not because he tried to play dirty.
