    Ireland 13-35 France

    France disrupt the throw. Ireland still have it, but couldn't get the maul going.

    It's through the backs and Hugo Keenan almost squeeze through but he's chopped down.

    Ireland are five metres out!

    Sam Prendergast tires to dink the ball through but Yoram Moefana holds off Rob Herring to touch the ball down in the in-goal area.

    Play is brought back, and Ireland go back into the corner.

    Time is ticking, eight to go.

    Ireland 13-35 France

    Ireland win the throw and Conor Murray is carried over the line, but Gardner says he was held up.

    It felt like half the players on the pitch were involved there so Murray could not get the ball grounded.

    Nine minutes to play.

    It's a penalty but no card to Paul Boudehent.

    Again, that hasn't gone down well with the crowd. Gardner not the most popular man in Dublin this afternoon.

    Ireland 13-35 France

    Ireland win the throw but the maul stands firm.

    It has to go through the hands and Ireland lose some momentum, but they're back in the red zone now.

    We're going to the TMO for a knock on. Angus Gardner said it was accidental, but his assistant Matthew Carley thinks it may be deliberate. So we're going upstairs.

    Ireland 13-35 France

    Ireland win the penalty and send it into the corner.

    Cian Healy, Conor Murray and Rob Herring all come onto the field.

    Healy and Murray won't have retirement at the front of their minds at the moment, just about trying to help Ireland back into this one.

    Ireland 13-35 France

    There was obviously a lot of talk about Antoine Dupont going off injured, but it has to be said that Maxime Lucu has been superb since coming on.

    Remember that run of just one defeat in 26 matches. He's 12 minutes away from making that one defeat in 27.

    Oscar Jegou's approach to being a back row playing centre appears to be that it doesn't matter what position you're meant to be if you're just absolutely everywhere instead.

    Ireland are in that impossible situation now where they have to try and push the game now and errors become really really costly and really obvious.

    Ireland 13-32 France

    Thomas Clarkson, just on the pitch, gives away a penalty for not rolling away on the ground.

    It's dead straight and about 30 metres out. Firmly in Ramos territory.

    Just 15 minutes to go in Dublin. France still firmly in control of not only this match, but their own destiny in the Six Nations title battle.

    And now Sam Prendergast drops the ball after being tackled by try-scorer Oscar Jegou.

    Caelan Doris is now forced off and Josh van der Flier returns to the pitch.

    Jamie Osborne is bundled into touch on the wing as Ireland looked to build some momentum.

    This has been made to feel like a France home game now with huge noise from the visiting crowd.

    What a seriously impressive 20-minute spell from Les Bleus. All without their man main too.

    Ireland haven't been able to live with them since that Sheehan try.

    The French supporters are loving this moment. They are making the Aviva sound like the Stade de France.

    You look at the Irish body language on that passage of play, tired, physically spent.

    There's now an Irish knock on right on halfway. It doesn't rain....

    It is a domination on carries. Ireland are throwing themselves at this French pack but the physicality and the power is sitting Ireland defenders on their heels.

    Hugo Auradou (con Ramos)

    BONUS-POINT FRANCE!

    It's the power game from the replacements as Oscar Jegou drivers towards the line and stretches his hand out to score.

    Thomas Ramos converts again.
