Ireland could have won that game, but it just goes to show even when a team are probably not playing their best, they can still find ways to win, and France did.
It was controversial with the
what should have been a sighting and it would have obviously helped Ireland.
But even you go back to the Six Nations game last year in Belfast, Ireland had opportunities.
Dan O'Brien missed a good few kicks and one or two frustrating defensive errors cost them a little bit.
So,
The reality here, Colm, is they've got to go to France and really, really limit their mistakes and get a top performance out of them.
So I'm excited for them to do that, but always nervous when you go to France for any team at any level.
You certainly can't.
kind of go in with any sort of an attitude that that danger isn't there.
So in other words, you need a fear factor.
So I hope they have a little bit of a fear factor in there and that can drive them on as well.
But it's a very good Irish team and it's a settled Irish team now and there's good options off the bench.

You've got to find ways of... It's a completely different opponent this week.
You can't make defensive errors like they did last week and be a little bit soft and switch off because France will go the length of the field and score and punish you.
