Getting nervous again, England fans?
France have got the bonus point to move level on match points with England.
Now can they do something and it would have to be very quick - about that 16 points difference?

It's a shame that the England players and staff can't go out in Rome and celebrate, but no doubt they'll be doing something to mark this championship victory.
It's a penalty to Ireland inside their own half.

Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 LiveI would rather have Johnny Sexton on the field than Ross Byrne, if I'm honest.
The step change from Sexton and all the other number 10s in Ireland is still too great.
In a game like this, if you want to pull it off, there is no better man than him.

Former England hooker on BBC TVNot only are Ireland have problems in the line-out, but once you compound that by getting done in the scrum then you're really in trouble. It was lovely awareness and Jacob Stockdale was trying to cover both the wing and depth. It was well seen and executed by Romain Ntamack.

Romain Ntamack produces a glorious chip and run before feeding Racing 92's Virimi Vakatawa, who produces a huge smile as he cruises over.
A body blow for the Irish.
Ntamack adds the two.

Ulster's Jacob Stockdale, who perhaps hasn't had the greatest of games, drops the ball as Ireland look to break on the right.

France are doing what Ireland did to them in the first half - pushing them further back in attempting to go deep into the opposition half.
Johnny Sexton shakes his head as he comes off and is replaced by Leinster fly-half Ross Byrne.

Vlad Iuga: Never would have guessed that the current lead & potential victory of #France’s les blues over #Ireland would bring so much joy with #England benefitting from all of this. Where to add that historic win for #Scotland against Wales. What a great weekend.

More cheers from the England camp...
That converted Ireland try increases the already-lengthy odds that the Red Rose are going to be crowned champions.

Ireland make a right pig's ear of the line-out again - they have another go but a fair few yards further back.
About 13 minutes remaining.

Ireland win a pen and Johnny Sexton goes for the corner.
The target - as it stands - is 14 points.

France are back inside the Irish 22, but the visitors regain possession thanks to a pen. Looks like the French held on a wee bit too long.
Irish apply pressure again.

Former England hooker on BBC TVRobbie Henshaw self-created all of that - he went around six players and avoided four tacklers.
There's no need for France to panic, there's still 20 minutes left. Conversely there's still time for Ireland to make it up too.

Having said that.
Leinster centre Robbie Henshaw dances around four players on the Irish left and powers over.
Exceptional.
Johnny Sexton does the rest.
Game and championship back on.

Former England hooker on BBC TVIreland are going to have come up with a plan to get more space. They are not winning collisions and getting forward enough. They desperately need a score.

Let's face it. It's now either England or France's championship.
The English are the outstanding favourites.

The Irish look for the quick offload inside the French 22 but Fabien Galthie's men nick possession.
However, as France sense a possible incredible win they could find themselves switching off in defence.
The ball is back in Ireland hands.
