🌍🏉 **France Dominates Ireland in Six Nations Opener!** 🇫🇷🇮🇪
Well, what a start to the Six Nations! France blew the competition wide open with a spectacular 36-14 victory over Ireland in Paris. 🏟️ The French team, led by Fabien Galthié, delivered a performance that was both brutal and brilliant, leaving the Irish team reeling under the Champs Elysees lights.
**The Media Reacts:**
– The Daily Mail was vivid: France hit Ireland with “iron fists wrapped in velvet gloves,” showing no mercy.
– The Times painted a picture of precision, likening France’s attack to a “surgeon’s knife” slicing through the Irish defence.
– In The Guardian’s words, France were “ravenous hosts,” leaving Irish fans wishing for an 80-minute blackout of the game!
France’s skill was on another level, and even with a spirited fightback, Ireland was left with only a cosmetic comeback. Antoine Dupont and company showed a blend of sheer power and elegance that seems unstoppable right now.
**French Pride Soars:**
Across the channel, it was all celebration. French media labelled the match as ‘near-perfect’, boasting stats that left jaws dropping: 860 metres gained, 19 line breaks, and 41 defenders beaten. The message was clear—France is here to dominate!
Back in Ireland, the Irish Independent lamented a “humiliating defeat narrowly avoided,” while the Irish Examiner called it a “rugby masterclass.”
🗣️ Shaun Edwards summed it up perfectly: “When we are on it in attack, it is a joy to watch.”
With France setting the benchmark this high from day one, it’s going to take something special for anyone else to lift the Six Nations trophy this year. Are we seeing a seismic shift in European rugby? Only time will tell! 🌟
Have your say! What did you make of the game? Are France the team to beat this season? 🤔👇
