  1. Penalty - France 18-13 Ireland

    Morgane Bourgeois

    That feels significant.

    France go five clear with five minutes to play.

  2. France 15-13 Ireland

    France win the penalty and Bourgeois points to the posts.

    If she lands this, Ireland will need a try.

  3. France 15-13 Ireland

    France manage to pinch it as Reilly is caught on the ball.

    It's a bit early to stick it up the jumper, but France are happy to let the forwards do the work.

  4. France 15-13 Ireland

    The ball is back in Irish hands but it's now on halfway, rather than the French line.

    Seven minutes to go, two points in it.

  5. France 15-13 Ireland

    Still Ireland push....but Assia Khalfaoui does really well to get her body over the ball to win the penalty.

    Perry with a huge carry to get Ireland five metres out!

    Try - France 15-13 Ireland

    Joanna Grisez

    'She makes it look so easy' - France lead as Grisez sprints length of the field to score

    From one end to the other in the blink of an eye!

    Ireland were throwing everything at France but were caught out when Amee-Leigh Costigan was left with a two v one.

    Joanna Grisez collects the ball in her own half and sprints the length of the field, beating Parsons' late attempted tackle for good measure.

    Boourgeois misses the conversion.

    That's some score, but Ireland have it all to do now.

  11. France 10-13 Ireland

    France steal the ball and here they come!

  12. France 10-13 Ireland

    Ireland have the ball in the French 22 as the 14 players try to breach France's full compliment.

  13. Replacements

    France 10-13 Ireland

    Eimear Corri-Fallon and Cliodhna Moloney Macdonald, who plays for Exeter Chiefs, are on for Neve Jones and Sam Monaghan.

  14. France 10-13 Ireland

    We're hearing Grace Moore's sin bin will remain a yellow, so we'll return in about three minutes or so.

  15. France 10-13 Ireland

    Flood with a superb kick into the French 22 and, when it comes back her way, she beats two players to make 10 metres.

  16. France 10-13 Ireland

    Neve Jones with a huge hit on Raclot to turn the ball back over.

  17. France 10-13 Ireland

    There's still 19 minutes of drama to come, but if things are level then we'll go to a period of golden point.

    As if this isn't tight enough.

  18. France 10-13 Ireland

    Huge turnover from Stacey Flood as France looked to build some more momentum.

  19. France 10-13 Ireland

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC Two

    Although they were a player down, that is too easy for me.

  20. try

    Converted Try - France 10-13 Ireland

    Charlotte Escudero (con Bourgeois)

    Escudero scores as France close the gap on 14-player Ireland

    The pressure pays off for France!

    France went through the hands and number eight Charlotte Escudero spotted a gap in the 14-player defence to cross.

    Morgane Bourgeois lands a superb conversion in the conditions.

    It had been coming.
