Substitution | 26'
Sexton replaced by Madigan - looks like a rib issue, after heavy encounter with Louis Picamoles
I knew they were going to target Sexton b*****ds
thugs
Anyone know what's wrong with him? Is he out for the rest of the tournament?
he injured his groin
did not look happy.. hopefully not a torn groin
This is what happens when teams talk of "targeting" players. Sexton was always going to get injured in this game. French coach is an absolute disgrace to the sport.
I agree absolutely disgraceful
Why? All hits were completely legal
agreed legal hits not foul play.. i think paulie might be a big loss aswell
Lads the hit was grand, it was that kick he miss hit about 3 mins before it.
It's nothing to do with the specific hits, you keep hitting one player hard and slightly late intentionally and consistently, injury is just a matter of when.
You have to question the sheer number of injuries in the last 3 or 4 games against France, specifically.
Not disgusting to target Players! If you know they are point worthy against your team, you make them not want to play.... Stop whinging about tackles and injuries, they happen, it's a hard game, man up and deal with it Ireland!
Oh Ireland dealt with it very well indeed Ryan. But it is disgraceful when teams plan on injuring players. And look where it got them tonight ? more focused on taking players out hoping that would win them the game rather then focusing on their own game plan and structure. So ignorant.
