6 Nations Highlights: France v Ireland
- 1031
France come away with a win that will do wonders for their confidence.
Ireland lead 9-3 at the break after some good Sexton place kicking, but
the second have was reduced to a turgid war of attrition. Neither side
could get any attacking play going, and the game really boiled down to a
series of scrums on the Irish 5m line with 10 minutes to play. After a
number of resets and French penalties the Irish survived, only to see
the ball go wide to Medard to go over. Guirado named MOTM, in what was
in truth, a poor match of rugby.
