As a french, this drop goal was devastating, but it was a great game and a big finish. 41 phases without any mistakes, the great Sexton assuming his statue has a legendary player, the french defense... When I'm watching it now, I smile because it is a beautiful rugby moment and a beautiful win for Ireland. Respect for you Irish people, hope we'll face each other in the RWC 🇫🇷🫶🇮🇪

I was at the match in Paris - it was of the most extraordinary sporting events I've ever witnessed - the tension was unbearable - the French crowd were singing Allez Les Bleus thinking victory was theirs - Ireland were not giving up as they went through phase after phase knowing one error and it was all over - it seemed to go on for an eternity - then that one opportunity finally arrived for Sexton to launch a long range drop goal effort - up high in the air it went and the whole crowd held its breath - it was heading for goal and finally dropped over the cross bar with inches to spare - the ecstatic reaction from the Irish fans in the stadium was an absolute outpouring of joy - The French fans were stunned into silence - What an epic finish and Ireland would go onto win the Grand Slam beating England at Twickers on St Patrick's Day in the snow - Brilliant memories all round.

With all the options open to Sexton, he went for that drop goal, it was a do or die moment, the courage it took to even attempt such a kick knowing if you missed you lost the game.

I always like to see Ireland, they play a fast, good game and Johnny putting over that long drop goal after so many evolutions was rugby history. They worked until boom. Fantastic. I got £120 out of that kick so thank you Ireland but I nearly had a heart attack while you got there.
