Why we mustn’t forget Paris

Having only won once in Paris over the last 40 years, a draw should have been a positive for Ireland.

However, this team and the rugby public have set the bar higher since establishing the base to dominate club rugby in Europe.

When you look through the statistics, that sense of disappointment grows. I don’t think I have ever heard Declan Kidney use the word “disgusted” about a penalty count against us before but on this occasion, he may be wrong.
