No Sexton is a big blow

France by 6-9

[cgrant]

A 6-2 split for the French bench.

[Machpants]

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.

[sparky]

France 19 Ireland 7 going into half time.

[sparky]

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.

Harsh. He's a prop.

[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.
