That's what I hope for with each team announcement. Payne is solid defensively but he's a fullback playing 13. He's there to fill the defensive need at the expense of an attacking option

Advantage being played now for France, as they are held on the Irish 22

Ball wide to Vakatawa who gets up to the 22

Medard carries back and France look to attack now

Must say Ireland's defence and discipline has been excellent though

Ireland win the scrum and Kearney clears

Agreed . If I was Irish is want to see Payne play at full back and Marshall or Mcloskey play in the centre with Henshaw

McCarthy challenges really well on the deck to force a knock on

Ireland looking useless in attack. May as well be running into a brick wall

France win the LO, Danty carries in midfield
