Vernier was tackled by Fiona Tuite, and went into Grace Moore who was the second player involved.

That was very similar to Rose Bernadou's yellow in the first half.

Moore is sent to the bin, and it'll go a bunker review.

If you're being strict about it, there is not much difference between that and the one in the first half.

France have the ball deep in the Irish 22, but play is brought back again for a high tackle on Vernier, and we're going for a TMO check.

Brittany Hogan limps off and Grace Moore is on in her place.

Ellena Perry is also on for Niamh O'Dowd.

France have the penalty advantage and dink it through, and O'Brien kicks the ball onto touch as it bounced it.

That was very relaxed.

Play is brought back for the penalty.

With 25 minutes left, France need to get to the other end of the pitch.

Bourdn Sansus obliges and kicks it downfield, and Parsons is alert to spot any danger and dot it down behind her own try line.

Jones' throw is good this time and the maul is trundling towards the line.

It's brought down, legally, and France then get their hands on the ball to turn it over.

Dannah O'Brien kicks Ireland up to halfway.

Jones' throw has too much on it, but Parsons is rapid and is on it.

Ireland then win another penalty, and the discipline is going from both sides here.

Now Ireland win the penalty for a high tackle from France prop Annaelle Deshaye on Sam Monaghan.

Brittany Hogan is now down and receiving some treatment.

France get it through the hands through Madaoussou Fall Raclot and come racing forward, but Bourdon Sansus knocks it forward.

Ireland are back in the French 22 but give away another penalty for obstruction at the maul.

That's two careless penalties from Ireland, which have been costly at both ends of the pitch.

France are on the board seven minutes into the second half.

France need a spark from somewhere, they are really flat.

Ireland are so dominant at the scrum today. France haven't had a sniff.

But the referee deems a player was tackled without the ball, so the penalty was reversed and France have a good platform here.

Ireland get another penalty advantage from a scrum and Ireland look to go again.

Ireland win the penalty after some French pressure.

It's all about the wee mental battles out there.

France are now trying Ireland's trick from the first half and send the ball long into the wind.

Off we go!

More of the same from Ireland or will France hit back?

France will take a lot of confidence and heart from their end to the half. It will show them physicality is the way forward.

The players are back out at Sandy Park.

A huge 40 minutes ahead.
