Not always working for them but France are so quick with everything. Again a stark contrast to how slow Ireland were last night.

France riding their luck here.

yes but SA are making too many silly errors to make anything of it.

Both teams are looking tired though, which is where the mistakes are creeping in and it's fair after the best of an hour smashing the fuck out of each other.

Yeah which is why I think whoever wins will find next week hard.

That's what a genuinely world class 9 gives you. Gibson-Park is ok of the QF teams I'd rank him as 6th (at best) and it makes a difference.

France have lost their heads a bit here. Still plenty of time.

The Irish commentators were stunned by that. Shocker!

The problem for France now is that Atonio was a monster in the scrum and without him they've lost any control they had. That makes it hard for them to go the length and get the score they need.
