  1. France 0-10 Ireland

    We've had confirmation from Aimee Barrett-Theron that prop Rose Bernadou's card will remain a yellow, and she can return.

    Try - France 0-10 Ireland

    Stacey Flood

    Ireland finally make it count.

    It comes off the back of the scrum as Aoife Wafer goes close.

    Ireland, with their player advantage, work it through the hands and Stacey Flood is able to cross.

    O'Brien's conversion drifts wide again.

  3. France 0-5 Ireland

    It's over thrown by Neve Jones, but Gabrielle Vernier knocks it on and Ireland now have the scrum five metres out.

  4. France 0-5 Ireland

    Anna Caplice
    Former Ireland international on BBC Two

    I have really enjoyed Ireland firing the shots which they didn't do last week and the variety they have showed in attack. That is what we wanted to see, but the fast start is no good if you can't maintain it. They need to stay patient but high-energy.

  5. France 0-5 Ireland

    Ireland now win the scrum penalty. All the wee decisions are going their way, but the still only have one try on the board.

    O'Brien sticks it into the corner.

  6. France 0-5 Ireland

    It's a loose throw from France and Neve Jones and Niamh O'Dowd do really well to keep Manae Feleu up in the air for form a maul, and Ireland then win the scrum as that ball wasn't coming back.

  7. France 0-5 Ireland

    Big turnover from France, who get over the ball after Fiona Tuite carried the ball into a pile of bodies.

  8. France 0-5 Ireland

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC Two

    I think that was a fair call, I didn't expect it to be upgraded. Ireland need another score.

  9. France 0-5 Ireland

    Dannah O'Brien brings Ireland back into the 22 and they'll have the throw.

  10. Sin-bin

    France 0-5 Ireland

    Rose Bernadou is sent to the sin bin as she was upright in the tackle, and there's going to be a bunker review.

  11. Watch: Djougang gives Ireland early lead over France

    France 0-5 Ireland

    Here is how Linda Djougang crashed over after a well-worked Irish move to give Ireland the lead in Exeter.

  12. France 0-5 Ireland

    Referee Aimee Barrett-Theron is going to her TMO for a look at that tackle on Higgins.

  13. France 0-5 Ireland

    There's a stoppage after a heavy collision in the middle of the pitch as Eve Higgins ran into Rose Bernadou, which has left the French prop requiring some treatment.

  14. France 0-5 Ireland

    Anna Caplice
    Former Ireland international on BBC Two

    It has been much better from Ireland. They are hungry for this.

  15. France 0-5 Ireland

    That will suit Ireland nicely, as Pauline Bourdon Sansus kicks clear, but the wind stops it getting too far and Ireland will have the throw just outside the 22.

  16. France 0-5 Ireland

    Stacey Flood is given a bit of a hospital pass and knocks the ball forwards when being tackled.

    The tackle count stands at 41 for France, and only eight for Ireland. Both teams have missed one apiece, which is impressive given the slippery conditions.

  17. France 0-5 Ireland

    Ireland are back in the French 22 as Eve Higgins races onto a neat O'Brien pass.

    This has been one-way traffic in the opening 15 minutes.

  19. France 0-5 Ireland

    Brilliant from Niamh O'Dowd, who forces the turnover by forming a maul and Ireland win the ball back.

  20. Jonathan Bradley
    BBC Sport NI senior journalist at Sandy Park

    Scott Bemand was asked at his team announcement on Thursday what it meant that Aoife Wafer would be wearing seven rather than her usual eight on her comeback from injury.

    The head coach was coy then, but the side's star back row has been scrummaging off the flank when France have the ball and coming off the base when it's Ireland's put in.
