    And an Irishman, for me the highlight was Dupont holping up Mack on the line. That's what the 6 Nations is, that desire!

      Honestly you could go 10 more years and not see a more impressive try saving tackle. Especially great when you consider size difference.
      The body mechanics he used were so clever it's the only way somone of his size could have stopped him in that particular position but you also still needed insane strength.
      I'm Honestly so so impressed with it, just like you.

      France and Ireland are two evenly matched teams and the last two Six Nations matches between the two have been immensely enjoyable for the neutral. Not being neutral, I preferred this one!

    Wouaw ! Thank you all for that rugby demonstration.
    Ireland has been more effective, especially in their kicks.
    Besides, I think Mr. Barnes did a great job. Antonio's tackle on the head wasn't intentional, so yellow card. About Lowe's try, there's no clear evidence his foot touched the ground and the ball was clearly, but from very little, on field before touching the line.

    Forget about Lowes try and the drama around it and the tackle, neither is the fault of the Irish team, the French team nor Wayne Barnes. This match should be remembered for, not just a grwat match for the first time in the 6N history between the top 2 ranking teams in WR, but because of Keenan's try, Penauds try and the absolute outstanding try save by DuPont. That try save was, for me, the moment of the entire 6N . I have watched it so many times, i have lost count. I'm an Irish supporter and actually stood up woth so many Irish supporters and applauded DuPont for that tackle. Young rugby players should all be shown this to show that height and the size of the attacker isnt everything and tackle technique, strength and determination can overcome anything.
    On a separate note, I loved the expression by the commentator after Porter's try, "squeezing a rhino into licra", brilliant

    Reminds me of Ali v Foreman. That first half was sublime. If you want to showcase the talent of two rugby teams at their pinacle, this was the match. France were unreal in their ability to shake the defense of Ireland. Right up to 3/4 of the match, I was expecting the French to overcome the onslaught and win the day, a absolute joy to watch. The war is not won but this battle is.

    This first half will go down in the history of the game, breathtaking during 40 min both team were throwing punch at each other. Just watching it I was exhausted by the intensity.
    The second half was very frustrating for us (french team), despite that Lowe try and the sneaky angle ignored by the ref and Atonio high tackle that could have been red, I feel that we had the momentum for 15 min from the 40 min to the 65 min and the ref wasn't blowing anything for us.
    I'm probably biaised as every fan should be ahah but that late shoulder tackle on Dumortier not being reviewed on a try opportunity ?? a clear forward on a kick ignored by the ref and nothing given on the ruck phases when we put so much pressure on the irish 22m.
    We were 6 pts behind and should have started the money time one point ahead at least, for me the game was decided at this moment.
    Still the better team won I think we struggled so much to attacj this amazing Irish defense, no space on the wing and a stuning coverage from the backs with our kicks. Ireland also putted a kick clinic on the last 10 min to keep us on our half of the field.
    I feel like we will need time to adapt to the new way of refeering the rucks that take us away a big part of our game, with so much penalty and turn over won during those phases.
    Congrats to the Irish I'm willing to give you this one if we manage to win the world cup ;)
    Very proud of getting the 2 best team in the world in the Northern emisphere atm.
