Half-time in Dublin. 19-0 with two (was it only two) disallowed tries and 95% territory.

France are hilarious.

Gatland must be loving this. Try shifting the favourites tag when you've won by 40/50/60*, lads!

France are just awful. Lots of effort but some of the mistakes are comedy gold. Ireland should have had the BP by the 30 minute mark.

Watching a french lock try to kick a ball after a good steal just sums it up.

France - Italy next week could be comedy gold

I wouldn’t bet against Italy. France looked like a pub team today and made more unforced errors than I’ve seen for a long time. For about 10 minutes they looked alright.

Knowing France they'll put 60 past the Italians because everyone put money on Italy

Well, I reckon Schmidt put the word out to get the BP then shut up shop, keeping powder dry (and expectations down) for next week. Pretty smart move IMO.

Final score was a travesty of the most one-sided 6N match I can recall in years - and that includes ones featuring Italy. France should be forced to play off against Georgia to be allowed back next year.

Truly embarrassing.
