My main takeaway was confirmation that Sexton should have been subbed in that NZ 1/4. Ireland function just fine without him and in the second half of that game he could barely run and killed any attacking shape they built.
France were a shambles and Galthie left it far too long to make changes. What's the point of a 6-2 of you don't bring fresh forwards on early (especially if you've been a man down in the pack).
