Hah, that was slick by Hansen. France made to look thoroughly stupid there.

Victor Meldrew

Hansen in for Oirland straight from the kick-off.

Freakish start to the game. 17 points after 8 minutes.

The commentator persisting with saying ooontamack is getting annoying.

Great comeback from Ireland. It was 22-7, now 22-21 after a couple of Irish tries. Some Test this now.

Catogrande

France in again. The pace that they put on the ball is impressive.

Try France by the Prop Baille. Conversion no good. 27-21.

Catogrande

Big call from Galthie. Dupont subbed.

my stream is behind, waiting to see if it is awarded.

Rocks in the head from an irish defender anyway - went to ground, elbows on the deck, scooped the ball. Clear penalty

sparky

Officials looking at this again and again and again. French crowd not happy about this and booing very loudly.

yeah, it's crazy thatyou drop on the ball you carry, but if your arm is under it and you can't see clearly it could be ruled out. TMO baby - just award in real time and let it run
