Is hard to say we were better than them today.
Best made a couple of bad throws at key times, Sexton made more mistakes than usual and we generally just made more errors than normal.
We couldn't penetrate much with our carrying either - only O'brien consistently made ground in the tackle. We couldn't really get any momentum despite retaining possession for the most part. That changed somewhat when Cronin, Henderson and Healy were on. We may benefit from freshening up the pack a bit.

We can't blame Wayne Barnes for that loss. We have been praised for our preciseness throughout the tournament, and in this game we repeatedly fluffed our lines at key moments. When we had their line under siege and refused to use the space out wide, when we made mistakes at lineout, when we made bad decisions in our kicking, we repeatedly made mistakes in a game there for the taking.
You played like we did against you. Shows how close the sides are to one another at the moment.
There are different kinds of bad/good day at the office though. That defensive display from your lot against Ireland was one of the best I've seen in the 6 Nations for a long time. [Washes mouth out with soap]
On a side note, where have you been lately?

They cheated. I counted at least 20 Welsh players on the pitch at one stage.
I hope we'll make a few changes for the next match.
I think I would change most of the pack - Healy, Cronin and Moore in the front row, Henderson into the second row with O'Connell. Jordi in the back row at 6. Madigan at 10 - not sure what centre or left wing options we have but is consider those too

Good result in any circumstances.
Some players redeemed themselves, glad to see Fitzgerald making the most of his opportunity. O'brien was outstanding, but everyone seemed to have moments of importance and an impact on the game.
Now let's hope this French team with nothing to play for actually give England a bit of a game. I can see England stealing this Championship, they score tries for fun

Yeah, it's possible, but - like all the other nations TBF - the French are never just going to lie down and play dead against England, whether or not they themselves have anything to play for.
