France v Ireland | Extended Highlights | 2022 Guinness Six Nations

Villiere is a monster. Everybody knows he can score but his work on the other side of the ball is oustanding. He tackles and jackals like a flanker.

I think he was especially surprised that the on field decision (before the video review) was "no try"... I don't really think that at a time when there was no video review, a referee would have realistically called this action as "no try". The video review was not conclusive so the referee stayed with the on field decision...

12:05 Ref’s life flashed before him for a moment. Actually he did bloody well to spin round and get a great view of the try.

[@yaellegars7589]

I have no idea why Ireland didn't go into touch at 72'. This makes absolutely no sense to me, they could have been at 5 meter, launch a maul and play their characteristic rugby with strong percussion close to the line. On top of that, it was the bonus point try.

[@darragh_h1021]

my thoughts exactly! France are just too strong for us right now well done

[@Klakmar]

They’d already got 2 tries from going to the corner as well! Instead they kick their first 3 of the game, needing another one just to tie. Absolutely baffling decision.

[@timotheecadic111]

It's also because our flankers destroyed yours most of the match. They were kinda down and tired at 72' guys. Hell of a game, but France won physically. I hope Ireland will beat England and ends 2nd behind us this year. Cheers

[@Findalfen]

If I remember correctly the commenters of the French TV channel also said it was a weird decision.

[@conish64]

I’m Irish and I agree. Was screaming at the tv shouting for the corner. We needed a try either way to win and we hadn’t had many (if any) opportunities as good as that in the previous 70. To think we’d regather the kick and get into as good a position again in the remaining 8 minutes….doesn’t make sense. Unless we were playing for a draw which I’d like to think we weren’t. Having said that there was no guarantee we would have won the line out let alone mauled France over the line or created a try scoring chance. You’d have to think though If sexton was there it wouldn’t have been a question. Corner all day

[@VeteranHedonist]

Well done France. 👏 It will be refreshing to see a different team win the grand slam.

[@johnmc3862]

They haven’t won anything yet!

[@booey28]

Wishful thinking

[@conish64]

Whether they do or not, they’re a cut above the rest at the moment.

[@zisssssou]

In term of skills and physicality, this game reached very high levels, but both teams will improve. Ireland can make progress in their breakdown and rucks area, France are still lacking precision on mauls defence and under high kicks. Clearly the 2 best sides of the NH (maybe the world), with France slightly better thanks to players like Villiere. A perfect combination of muscle, punch and flair.

You’re very gracious to say that and who knows, but France are awesome at the moment. To think this team is still 18 months out from a World Cup. There’s a good chance we (Ireland) will have to play France in the quarter finals and as exiting a prospect as that is, there are very few teams I’d rather avoid. Unfortunately the all blacks are also in that category and if not France wel have them 😭. Very tough draw for Ireland in 2023

He also grabbed the ball and dotted down close to the posts.

You need to be 2 to make a great match. It could have come either way but France edges it out. I think Sexton would have made some better choices but this match was useful to get a number 2 in form for the WC. Good luck to my Irish friends. It would have made a great final.

Yes let's not forget the last French try unjustly refused. Finally "unjustly", let's say for a very, very small forward that only Anglo-Saxon referees see when it comes to the French... :-/ For the Anglo-Saxon teams "weirdly" they have less Lynx eyes and easy fault...

[@springtown24]

He absolutely did and more than marginal, it was reviewed from overhead camera which clearly showed it.

[@vonteflon]

Doubt he did it on purpose by Dupont sort of held back a bit then accelerated into the ball which creates an optical illusion where it didn’t really look like a forward pass at the time. (I know everyone’s losing their collective shit over it after replays and the overhead angle).

[@jsventer]

@@vonteflon The overhead angle makes it crystal clear it's a forward pass. Intention is not part of the rule, but along France matches you can also see some kind of intention. If you review the France - Italy, for instance, you will find at least three forward passes, but not as transcendent as this one. Also, along both games you can also see several uncalled offsides, mainly in rucks. At least twice, France defenders use their hands after the ruck is formed (and win it). I don't know if it's an strategy but they are really edging the rules. That said, France is doing an glorious exhibition of rugby.
