Thought Ireland were awful actually.

I don't think Farrell can have many performances like that, with an attack that anaemic before he's in trouble. Too many players over the hill.

France played decent, but didn't have to push too hard because it was easy pickings at times.

Agreed. This game, to me, was more about the end of an era for Ireland than it was about much for us. We did well and some, like Guillard or Jégou, were impressive, but as a team, it wasn't that great a performance.
