    I,m in austria with no sports bar in sight. RTE & BBC live webcasts unavailable in Austria. French TV 3 likewise.

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to watch it on the web?

    nothing yet on justintv - anyone got any links?
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    You realize you have to go to every match now?

    Conversely, it was the first Ireland v France game I've missed for 16 years. Maybe I should stay away for England too?!

    Great game and fantastic to see us transfer passion into clinical, cutting edge rugby when the chips were down.

    Excellent game of rugby from start to finish. Looks like the boys are beginning to gel at last. Three Irish try’s of the highest standard.

    What a fantastic game of rugby, few hours later and Im still buzzing after watching the highlights of it again. Two brilliant teams having a proper go with brilliant attacking rugby. Many times in the past the Irish team would have buckled under the pressure in last 20 minutes, but hopefully now we can kick on to the Championship. Will be interesting to see Wales tomorrow.
    I just hope that the football team can give half as much entertainment in Croke Park on wednesday
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    Definitely a game Ireland would have lost most times in the past.

    Great defence by Ireland against a good French team. Took our chances when they came as well.

    Most enjoyable game I have been at in Croke Park. Don't think will any free tickets going for England game though. Will be back for Munster v Harlequins.

    Ireland did their best to lose the game with too much aimless kicking. Was a little stunned to see O'Driscoll run through like that as not seen that for a long time in a green jersey. Kearney needs to show more guts in defence as I felt he chickened out of one tackle & no way should he be side stepped by Chabal.

    Great win. Superb performance and France did play reasonably well. I hope everyone doesn't get carried away though. France's midfield defence was a joke and they did fail to take some clearcut chances.

    One of the most pleasing aspects was how few penalties we gave away. How many times over the years have we given soft penalties in big games?

    BOD was immense in defence, Kearney was superb under the high ball and Heaslip seemed to be everywhere. O'Leary's kicking was suspect but he doesn't slow the ball up unlike Reddan and his size alone is a big help when on the back foot.

    Pete you'll have to go to every game in the 6N whilst OneRedArmy will need to watch it on the box!

    thats a great rhyme shaker.

    I had just been saying to a few english lads i was watching the match with in budapest that people forget the importance of odriscolls defensive game, and that he might have lost that initial burst of acceleration his defensive displays justify his selection. I said you it must be 2 years since we have seen his attacking play and its unlikely we will see that again. 5 mins later he scores a class try, and the commentator says we haven't seen odriscoll score like that in 2 years

    Leinster can't play there, they have the "away" draw for the semi-finals. It's munster or nobody.
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    i think he meant for leinster v. munster and not munster v. harlequins or leinster v. ospreys
