Classic 6 Nations Video: Ireland suffer last minute heartbreak vs France, 2007

Apologies to all you Irish fans for this, but let's remind ourselves of when France broke Irish Grand Slam hearts back in 2007.  

Ireland were tipped to comfortably beat most in 2007. When they won in Cardiff in week one and O'Gara put Ireland 17-13 up with minutes remaining in this game at Croke Park it still looked like a decent prediction,  all they had to do was gather the restart and play out time.  Then this happened.  

Ireland won the Triple Crown, but finished second to France on a points difference of four, due to the Irish only managing to scrape past Scotland while the French mullered them on the final weekend. 

Once again, respect to the French commentators for not getting too carried away.
