Bastareaud is a great 13, regardless his size

He is terrible

Didn't know Spedding had such range.

Looking threatening with ball in hand. A Spedding run takes play inside Irish half

This number 13 should rather play as a number 3

France have possession off the restart.

5-2 penalties against Ireland is always gonna put us in a tough spot!

Another massive effort from the South African born full back. 6-6

Ireland dominating possession for the first 20 minutes, 63% for the Irish against just 37% for the French. Only 3 points separating them on the scoreboard though!

Spedding to take another long range effort from half way
