Yes that. It would be low if everyone drew. Impossible but mathematically possible.

Ireland finding the French defence pretty hard to break at the mo. Tough tough game so far.

If everyone drew then you’d all be on 10points

Therefore to win it outright is 12 points the theroetical minimum needed to take the championship.

t would seem that the French are worried about going in at half time a long way behind. Their defence is quite impressive.

The Irish look good most of the time, but they need to do something with all that possession.

It will be interesting to see if there are any changes to players or tactics in the new half.

Come on Ireland.

Why the TMO?

Both the ref and the touch judge were unsighted I think.

Yes someone would need to win 1 game without a bonus point.

Disappointed with Scotland. The team that played so well in the Autumn internationals made me think they could be 6 nations contenders and a real problem this year.

Now they look like fighting Italy for bottom spot as usual. How did that go so wrong, so fast?

Townsend's teams tend to win big or lose big - there's no real middle ground with his approach if things go wrong.

A few players just weren't good enough - Harris, McGuigan and de Preez to pick out the worst ones. Dunbar/Taylor (or Horne if both unfit still), Maitland and Wilson should be selected for the next match.

Price needs dropped until he realises he's in charge, not Russell. That was the difference with the try at the end - Laidlaw didn't let the backs have the ball until the forwards stretched the defence. Send Pygros back to Glasgow and call up George Horne instead.

It's been coming. Ireland may regret not being more ambitious when they had all that possession.

Brought it on themselves in reality. Got to hand it to France; great try.

Final 5 could be fun or dire.

I think that's twice in this game that the match doctor has called for HIA (for France) when there was no contact with the head, which gave them a significant advantage.

That's got to be looked at.

[schmalex]

Wow!

The Irish should be buying some beers for their pack!!!!!!!

[Randy Winkman]

Fabulous - and I say that as an Englishman. A big gamble kicking from there but there didn't seem to be any other option since the French were defending solidly.

Wasn't it a French prop who had HIA last year against Wales which allowed "fresh" prop back on? I agree with HIA, but things like this need to be dealt with
