France are losing a bit of discipline on the ground - they give away another penalty.

Ireland make the yards with a kick into touch. France have the maul from the line-out, but Ireland push the ball over the goal-line.

Ireland ball.

Welsh Lad: French genius and the famous French indiscipline all in the same minute, got to love it, Come on Ireland.

Nick Thompson: 100% class myself as a “tournament” fan but every time I watch rugby, I’m just in awe at how good the refereeing is and how spot on the respect to referee is. It’s everything football is missing I mean these blokes are refereeing in different languages!

This is going to change A LOT over the next hour or so.

But that early France try means Les Bleus jump above the Irish in the 'live' table.

Long way to go, obvs.

A waste of a pen as they run it. France take the ball to the halfway line before Ireland regain possession.

All a bit scrappy.

Ireland might as well go for it with the advantage of a man. When they are driving mauls, close to the line, there's a chance of another man in the bin and that would be nice for Ireland.

This was highlighted pre-match too, France will give you chances.

All about whether Hugo Keenan would definitely have picked up the grubber kick from Johnny Sexton.

The answer is no. It's a pen though.

Anthony Bouthier has sinned. And goes in the bin.

It's a very, very tough call for Wayne Barnes.

Woah! Woah! Woah! Sweet Child O' Mine!

Do we have a possible penalty try for Ireland here?

Look at the confidence and skill that created that score! It started with a piece of footwork and Antoine Dupont is always supporting on the inside. He's so influential in everything that he does and Ireland need to get a hold of him.

This has got to be the longest kick he has ever taken. That shows you Ireland's attitude, they want to keep the scoreboard ticking and have that scoreboard pressure.

If France want to progress to be in contention for the 2023 World Cup, and they've got the players they think they've got, those players have to play with a professionalism and pride irrespective of the task in front of them.

They are badly second favourites to Ireland in terms of winning the Championship it should be in their head that they won't allow someone to come to their home ground and win a title.

Conor Murray from 57m....

Nope.

A bit of a nervous start, both sides feeling each other out. Slow and steady is the way I think Ireland will approach this.

Fabien Gathie's men gain yards but once again lose possession and begin again inside their own half.

The French once again relinquish possession after a knock-on by 5 Paul Willemse.

Scrum.

Penalty Ireland.

Ireland get the scrum although they made of a mess of it from the initial kick.
