France 14-10 Ireland
Brian Moore
Former England hooker on BBC TVIt'll be difficult for Ireland to see out this sin bin without conceding any points.
If they can't the second half will be much more difficult because it will be an 11-point deficit if France get their act together here.
France need to do what Ireland did, don't force things and you should be able to create an opportunity.

This will be difficult for Ireland - a man down until HT.

Brian Moore
Former England hooker on BBC TVThe terrible phrase is 'taking one for the team' but they've scored anyway and they didn't have to do the conversion either. It came from another Jamie Stockdale knock-on though.

France 14-10 Ireland
France try to cut through the middle of Ireland's defence before shifting the ball out right.
Jamie Stockdale's knock-on is seized by Francois Cros, who sees glory but is held up by Caelen Doris.
He sees yellow and heads for the bin.
France lead. Blimey!

France 7-10 Ireland
If this was American football then this would be a third down for France, or something. They are finding it difficult to make the yards in the Ireland half.
They have the scrum though.

Former England hooker on BBC TVIreland are starting to play with more confidence - they are getting into their groove. A couple of little things have gone their way and the confidence is growing.

France 7-10 Ireland
Ireland win a pen, fairly central and in kicking range.
Try scorer Cian Healy, who received treatment earlier receives treatment again. He goes off the pitch for an assessment.
Johnny Sexton slots over.

France 7-7 Ireland
Ugo Monye
Former England winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveNot only does Cian Healy come up with a massive score for him but also on a huge day for Ireland. It is a really important try for Ireland, with a minute left on that sin-bin.
They have had all the possession, plenty of territory and are dominant on their carries.

Former England hooker on BBC TVOn balance it's a fair reflection of what's happened so far.
France won't be happy with conceding that but they will take that you've only conceded seven.

Cian Healy, con Johnny Sexton
Ireland keep the ball alive. Prop Cian Healy uses the might of the forwards to get him over the line.
Subdued celebrations. Definitely not Italian style.

France 7-0 Ireland
Brian Moore
Former England hooker on BBC TVThe average a side concedes in a 10-min sin bin is seven points. It's crucial for Ireland in terms of getting them going, but if France come through this without conceding it will be a huge psychological and emotional bonus for them.

The Ireland pack try to make the yards in the scrum before the ball arrives in the hands of Johnny Sexton. He spins away heading for the line but is held up about a yard out.
Another Ireland scrum now. Five yards out.

Ugo Monye
Former England winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe work in getting Johnny Sexton over try line and meaning if that maul collapsed they get possession, and a five metre scrum to them, was excellent. That's what they have, with 15 v 14, the space has got to be out wide. They have to pick the right moment for the right players.
