What a match

Ireland deserved to win.   You won’t often hear me say that.

The French were brilliant in the first half, but faded away in the second.   I thought O’Gara and O’Driscoll played so well in the second half, after a few mistakes in the first, and deserved at least to get a try at the end to draw the match.

After that, I think France will get the Grand Slam - Wales were ok today, but Scotland are a poor side at the moment, and Wales made a catalogue of errors that a better side would have punished them for.

I’m looking forward to seeing England play tomorrow - I hope we can be a bit more expansive, like the games that were played today.
