Ireland clear, line out is won by the french and they advance once again.

France break from the back of the scrum but a forward pass hands possession over to Ireland.

Come on Ireland!!

France go wide and a switch puts Le Duff in and over but she is held up by a clever Irish tackle.

France get the maul rolling early on. Ireland under pressure here.

Sandrine Agricole gets us underway!

The teams make their way onto the field. They prepare to perform the anthems.
