France 6-14 Ireland
Finally Ireland's dominance in possession pays off as they break the French resistance, which hasn't been as effective at the beginning of this half.
France have missed 17 tackles, twice as many as Ireland.
Image source, OptaMore injury concerns for Ireland. Flanker Peter O'Mahony is also in trouble after first-half injuries for Johnny Sexton and Paul O'Connell.
Chris Henry is on for O'Mahony, who looks like his leg was caught underneath him as Pascal Pape made the tackle.

A neat inside ball to Tommy Bowe drew the attentions of the France back row. Quick recycle and Rob Kearney spots he has Freddie Michalak opposite him, barging through a flimsy tackle and over for the score.
Ian Madigan wide with the conversion.
Ireland up to within a metre...

Quote MessageFantastic break by Robbie Henshaw. He showed electrifying pace, came on to the ball with pace, and showed beautiful feet."
Henshaw left Mathieu Bastareaud for dead with a neat shimmy.
Robbie Henshaw through the middle off first-phase ball!
He offloads to Tommy Bowe! Rob Kearney on the run-around.

Quote MessageLouis Picamoles is France's stand out player. He got injured last season and came back having shed two stone. He produced an incredible first half performance here and put in some huge hits."
A bit of claret on the stage.
Vincent Debaty, who has only just arrived off the bench, has a nasty head wound.
Eddy Ben Arous is back into the front-row fray for France.
