An iron fist in a velvet glove, just through the chops of the Irish. The tastes of Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray and Cian Healy, in all their years of service, have never felt a correct hook like this. They retired with a burst.
France worked in the field as Muhammad Ali worked in the boxing ring. One of his best performances under Fabien Gallthie, were irresistible with the ball in his hand, exploiting Ireland's great offer with his Parisian turn in the pump squad.
This was the decisive de facto title and, having secured the bonus point with plenty of space, the title of the six nations suddenly is from France to lose. They punctured and snored, with Damian Penaud, the level of drawing with the registration of attempts of the iconic Serge Blanco.
“You just don't ruin it,” reads the head of the local Irish newspaper. He referred to Taoiseach's meeting at the White House with Donald Trump next week, although he could have run next to an image of Antoine Dupont. Oval office or oval ball, are two difficult opponents to predict. Careful mana because both have the ability to exploit when bets are at their highest point.
Well, Dupont was taken after 30 minutes, which made this victory even more remarkable. The rookie flank Oscar Jegou ended the day in the centers and few would have argued if he had been appointed man of the party. It was one of those days that the convention broken down.
Taoiseach can meet Elon Musk in Washington next week, and this is the type of performance that would leave the super computer from Americans if he asked to produce the perfect meeting screen.

The emotions were high since the Irish were led by their three legends retired. Rugby fans in their 20 years do not know the game without Healy and O'Mahony. They are the fabric of an institution that has gone from one that barely knew what a Grand Slam was like, to a rugby power in the northern hemisphere. However, this was not the farewell they had in mind.
The hymns here could make a tear in the drier eyes, although the announcement that James Lowe retired during warming quickly brought things back to reality.
Lowe was replaced by Calvin Nash and the end went directly to the action, surpassing Romain Ntamack to the Jamison Gibson-Park pendant cash kick. Ireland dominated the first quarter. Calen Doris, inclined as the captain of the lions waiting, won three losses of the ball and France had to fasten in defense.
The early territory belonged to Ireland, but Sam Purkey was drawn on the 22nd by Yoram Moefana, before hitting the post with his first kick in the goal. The French made 81 tacle in the first quarter and kept Ireland useless. The Irish never recovered.
Dupont had a discarded escape attempt for a blow but, with 21 minutes on the clock, against the game race, he showed his class. Joe McCarthy, a tractor of a second row, was shown a yellow card to withdraw Tomas Ramos. France threw the lineout's tail, leaving a large blind side so that Dupont would change again, throwing a Miss pass to prepare an attempt by Louis Bielle-Barrey.
It was breathless and relentless. Bielle-Barrey's kick in the face of his own positions left the French hearts in the mouths. Brian O'Driscoll and Dimitri Yachvilli laughed at the comment box with disbelief. French arrogance at its maximum expression.
The bodies were chewed and spit in the Rucks. It was like throwing cuts in a meat grinder. The ligaments extended to their limits. Dupont captivated his audience with a back door pass but then hit the disaster. Tadhg Beirne crushed him as he tried to secure the ball and his knee bent. Accidental, said referee Angus Gardner. Without penalty. France only had one in his bank 7-1 and had 50 minutes to survive without specialized coverage.
Arndast and Ramos exchanged penalties before the break, with France addressing the costumes with a two -point advantage. Dan Sheehan surpassed Ireland in the second half of a driver's alignment and suddenly gallered looked like a man under pressure. Those French fans who used their characteristic glasses suddenly questioned their loyalty.

However, Dupont's replacement, Maxime Lucu, appeared to the challenge. He took control of the game in the middle third. He made France's download game score, leading a 17-point load during the 10-minute Nash Sn-bin for a high Tackle in Pierre-Louis Barassi.
After Paul Boudehent's attempt, France discharged five heavyweight strikers from the bank, increasing power. Ireland was hired in her own half and France hit. Penoud galloped his half as an animal in the race, before Bielle-Barrey knocked down the wing and used his rhythm to write down.
Ramos kicked his points before Jegou, shining in the center of the field, put his ongoing side for his greatest victory over Ireland for 15 years. Francois Cros showed a yellow card, but the French siege continued to arrive, scoring an attempted end to end through Penaud.
Healy and Arndasto scored late for Ireland, but it was not enough for a bonus point. The hosts were bruised and beaten, beaten to the canvas long before the bell. This will take some time to overcome.
