FRANCE WIN A turnover penalty on their own line and the Six Nations is coming back to Ireland. But wait, Yoann Huget, the stubbled mercurial wing, is gesturing to his team-mates to fan out.
He is taking it quickly, Irish hopes be damned. The French go nowhere, as England manically seek a turnover. Eventually, Rory Kockott – the South African who doesn’t have nonchalant blood pumping through his veins – decides that he would prefer to hit the post-match banquet a little earlier and boots the ball into the stands.
The Irish nation decompress and give Thierry Henry a 50% let-off for THAT handball.
Okay, maybe only 25%.
Unsurprisingly, the Twitter reaction from Ireland was basically ‘OMYGODWHATTHEF*CKAREYOUDOING??????’
On the scale of baguette to beret, Huget’s quick tap was about a skinny moustache.
Vincent Debaty, unreal support running from the prop, amazing run as well Nakaitaci ..
100% best try. I reckon the effort probably took a year off his life.
Love that he immediately had to go off. He literally gave everything for the try. And was forced back on. Unbelievable. What a day.
Agree 100% Vincent ran at some pace, and scored a crucial try. What a fecking legend the next time he is in Limerick the pints are on me!!!
Magic stuff. Is that Nigel Owens in the background saying “every game should be like this”? And they were singing a cracking rendition of Swing low when the move started. Love the six nations.
I’m still dancing at the crossroads, the wifi isn’t great.
Great tries great day. But a try saving tackle by Jammy won it for us. Never been a Heaslip fan but he earned his corn yesterday.
Great article. We’ll done on compiling the list!
Great line from Owens after the Debaty try ‘Every game should be like this’
Leonardo Sarto for Italy in the last minute! Went from needing 28 points to 21, which was massive psychologically. Bravo sir!
Thanks for sharing. Live in USA for last 5 years but still a huge fan. Was following text commentary on Saturday. These are great times for Irish Rugby. We should cherish them.
And then this
The Irish, French and Italian ones.
