No Sexton is a big blow

France by 6-9

A 6-2 split for the French bench.

Very young 12 for France, Ireland have shown the ability to target inexperienced midfielders already

Bones

Oh I like this.

Pity don't get to see Jonny sexcrys face though.

Bones

Geez Gibson-Park is quick!

Bones

Hah, that was slick by Hansen. France made to look thoroughly stupid there.

Victor Meldrew

Hansen in for Oirland straight from the kick-off.

Freakish start to the game. 17 points after 8 minutes.

sparky

France 13 Ireland 7.

Big French forwards bossing it so far.

Bones

The commentator persisting with saying ooontamack is getting annoying.

France 19 Ireland 7 going into half time.

France all class in the way the All Blacks used to be.

Miles Harrison saying anything is annoying

sparky

Great comeback from Ireland. It was 22-7, now 22-21 after a couple of Irish tries. Some Test this now.

Catogrande

France in again. The pace that they put on the ball is impressive.

sparky

Try France by the Prop Baille. Conversion no good. 27-21.

Catogrande

Big call from Galthie. Dupont subbed.

sparky

Irish penalty. They go for goal rather than the corner. Over. 27-24 to France with ten minutes to go.

sparky

Jaminet with the winning try for France. 32-24 with kick to come. Three minutes to go.
