  1. ireland will come 3th in 6nations pity

  2. smitzh took of the best players 25 mins when we coild have scored more as the best players would have got into frances minds more im sure of it even some commentators said this i was mad points where crucial here a win which could been a runaway for ireland if he does this in wales we are gone the core group who done hard where off to early

  3. Sam says:

    Commentary saying what happens before the plays ruins the suspense

  4. Sum Boi says:

    Can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened with Teddy Thomas if he hadn’t been involved with issues off pitch after the game at Murrayfield. He’d probably be player of the tournament

  5. Gran Torino says:

    I had shat when I witnessed that kicked

  6. EJ Ioane says:

    so NZ sweep France 3-0 test series with a average winning margin of 18 poinst yet the world no. 2 team only won by 3 points?

  7. AlexD NedC says:

    what is Six Nations Rugby ? Rugby in Europe! it is my first time !

  8. Ireland is 2018 six nations champion

  9. 1:35 there's a guy in the crowd showing off his passport to the guys next to him…

  10. Don't worry guys, we lost to Ireland, Scotland, and produced a mediocre win against Italy. All so we could get in the right mood to kick some british ass. After all, that's what we love most.

  11. caribstu says:

    Unfortunately gonna have to block this channel and stop it showing up in search results because some brain dead pig shit thick thoughtless twat keeps putting the scores in the video title.

  12. Scott Walker says:

    Ireland needs to play alot better than that to beat England.

  13. This game makes me ponder about England in Paris, could unexpectedly be the banana skin that costs them a potential grand slam.

  14. Meta Trader says:

    His voice omg, its like pealing carrots

  15. Ruben T says:

    Ireland won this game without scoring a single try.

  16. Salote Rova says:

    Boring northern hemisphere rugby.

  17. Aupa Francia!!! Allez les bleus!!!

  18. Struggled to beat the French who Scotland have just won and they didn't need a late kick to do it.

    Good look to you and all your plastic paddy fans against the Welsh.

  19. Shaun Bonner says:

    Why did France get a point from this game

  20. Awful commentary – you announced everything before it happened

  21. Budd Hudd says:

    GO Johnny go go go…..

  22. Credit to Ireland for getting the win but this isn't a great france team. I remember as an Ireland fan when Frédéric Michalak was playing around 2002/2003 for france they were a completely different team and Ireland would be lucky to pull of a result against them

  23. No Jamie Roberts and Jonathon Davies meant no relentless Warrenball rhino crash ad infinitum. The best handling Wales performance I've seen for years.

  24. This game should have been France's. Hard luck, but credit to Sexton for the drop goal.

  25. Could somebody without a bit more knowledge of the rules please explain to me the technicalities of how France gave away a penalty at 2:37.

    Is it because Vahaamahina came in to the ruck from the side instead of through the "gate", even though the ball was loose? Wasn't Lamerat in an offside position too when he touched the ball, which would have resulted in a penalty for Ireland anyway? Must have replayed this part over 10 times by now!

    Thanks guys.

  26. What a player Sexton..if my Italy wouldn't have the discipline how we have never had, Ireland will won only with freekicks.

  27. Taischen says:

    Watching paint dry was more interesting than this game.. expected Ireland to get a decent win against a poor French side.. this was a shite performance with a pot luck ending

  28. Tom Hassell says:

    Not Nigel's best game

  29. tomas reily says:

    its england we must and want to beat they are so bigheaded

  30. tomas reily says:

    its the english we want to beat

  31. XxWales15xX says:

    nerves of steel from Sexton, and what a try from Thomas. Absolutely burnt Stockdale there

  32. Великолепный финал матча!!!

  33. NZlenz says:

    Awesome highlights. Great to see these clips on YouTube. Just one suggestion – DON'T include the score on the title. Some fans don't know the score and like watching YouTube to get their sporting updates.

  34. Who else thought there was no way Ireland would score right up until the ball crossed the bar?

  35. Football style celebrations are starting to appear in Rugby all rolling around on the floor!

  36. Jonny sexton best fly half in the world right now

    Like if you agree

  37. Poseclop q says:

    Well played Ireland…If there is some wishey left from yesterday's 3rd half-time you can leave it here…we'll make good use of it Xp

  38. ben1spain says:

    Have watched it twenty times and still get a big buzz. Well done lads.

  39. O Cjh says:

    The attitude of the English, Irish and Welsh commentators ahead of and during the game regarding the French was disgraceful. The BBC booth were demoralising in every way to the French. Watching the game was difficult because they would say every French mistake was forced by the Irish, whereas an Irish mistake would be unlucky or because of the mostly French crowd. Also, Vahaamahina's second 'penalty' was not his, it was the 13. Shameful from the commentators.

  40. Natwest are definitely doing better highlights than RBS! It was Lamerat who did the foul at 45 though
