That wasn't what they wanted it to be, but also it wasn't a hammering.
So there's definitely a lot of takeaways from that.
They come out the next week against Italy and absolutely blowed out the park and get, as you said, get humming and get firing in all cylinders with work on still there.
But that's obviously a given in every game.
They tee themselves up in terms of confidence, in terms of flow, in terms of a really good, solid defensive picture as well.
for an absolute cracker and to come out of the blocks and be confident enough and be bullish enough to be able to give the French some ammo to stick up on the changing room you know the changing room wall I don't even know if the French are that kind because the French men and women tend to be the same with that kind of confident arrogance to them in their sporting prowess that they wouldn't really you know whatever if you show up if we show up there's going to be no competition kind of feel to it but
They definitely will be very aware that last year in Belfast, they got away with one Ireland.
Just let that one go, you would say, in terms of the Six Nations.
And it was the one that got away.
But a hell of a lot learned from it.
And then obviously World Cup comes.
We've heard the girls talk about in spades of what could have been with that World Cup performance on a wet and windy day.
Down, wasn't it, in Sandy Park?
I think it was for that one.
But I think it's teed up to be everything you want it to be.
It's going to be an absolute, you know,
dogfight and I think that's what you want I think Ireland want to drag them into that because Ireland now have the confidence that as you said like and I think Scott has said it there that we're no longer trying to go to these occasions and get people used to big crowds get people and players the younger players used to big noise they've come off playing 77,000 it doesn't really get any bigger than that you know and you know what you're getting when you're going to France and Clermont to be no different I think
I think it tees it up epically and it's just a case of who will be given the nod now to go and do the job does he stick or does he twist but I love that I think why not I just think it's a case of can Ireland keep their heads and not go kind of over the line of kind of that kind of hot head and giving away loads of penalties or be dragged into something or to lose their shape in in the franticness of wanting to put one over on France if they can do it together as a collective 15 then I think we're in for an absolute cracker but
you never really know what you're going to get with France, which is always the interesting part of them.
ultimately you have to accept that you know Ireland they could end up with egg on their face this Saturday evening they could end up living to regret those comments but I suppose I'm happy to just see it regardless yeah it adds a bit of flavour to it doesn't it it gives you that bit of something different and that's always the worry is like that you come out you know you come out all guns blazing and you're swinging and you're saying this that and the other that you know putting your cards on the table essentially of like how much you're getting ready to go into this and
