Watch: The Paul O'Connell And Keith Wood Reaction To That Dispiriting Ireland Loss

Paul O'Connell made his Six Nations punditry debut on the BBC for Ireland's dreary loss to France.

O'Connell felt the pivotal moment in France's 10-9 win was Guy Noves' decision to change his front row early in the second half.

Four minutes after half-time, Uini Antonio and Jefferson Poirot left the pitch to be replaced by Eddy Ben Arous and Rabah Slimani respectively.

That was 'the winning of the game' according to O'Connell.
