We showed that we can play at a very high level against France, but we lost our consistency, it can sometimes happen to a team, we are alive now, but it will come back […] But congratulations to Ireland who were so strong for us today. We started the game well and we knew what to do. […] Considering the latest results between the two teams, we knew they wanted to fix the scores on a physical level, we knew they were going to be strong, we expected them to play a lot of kicks, and they did, very well.
