What a relief for Ireland.

Aoife Wafer looked in absolute agony but bounces back up to play on.

She's been excellent on what is her first Test since April.

Wafer gets a quick test off the back of the scrum but seems to be okay. That's good to see.

O'Brien again sends the ball down the pitch to pin France back again.

It's knocked on by France and Ireland will have the scrum.

Aoife Wafer is up and moving, and is going to try and continue.

That was a real worry given the knee injury that had kept her out until this match, but the magic sponge and spray worked a treat.

Dannah O'Brien sends another kick long that dribbles over the try line, and France will have the chance to kick it clear.

O'Brien has done really well to pin the French back in the opening half hour.

France get into the Irish half for the first time and win a penalty, which Bourdon Sansus takes quickly.

The French come flying forward but Neve Jones does really well to turn it over.

Ten to go until the break.

Axelle Bethomieu is back on for France, which would suggest Bernadou wasn't fit enough to continue after the collision with Higgins then sent her to the sin bin.

France manage to clear and Flood spills the clearance, but recovers well to hold off any challenges until back up arrives.

Fiona Tuite loses the ball forward in the 22 and France look to come clear but another handling error stops them coming away on the counter.

France will have the scrum in their own 22.

Lina Queyroi is in a whole heap of bother as she lets O'Brien's latest long kick bounce, and she's quickly gathered up by Higgins and Dalton.

France manage to help their fly-half out, but can only clear just up to the edge of the 22.
