And that’s it! Ireland overcome injuries to O’Connell, Sexton and O’Mahoney to thrash France. What a result.
79'
This 9-24 scoreline has not been unflattering. Thoroughly deserved and this will be a first World Cup win over France. Full of character.
78'
Another massive scrum for Ireland and another penalty. Deep it goes to the corner.
77'
Desperation seeping in for France and more errors sneaking in as they chase this. They haven’t turned up today.

FRANCE 9-24 IRELAND: No problem for Madigan as he calmly slots Ireland further clear.
75'
Philippe Saint Andre will be very upset. France just haven’t had any ball control whatsoever. And Ireland win another penalty.
74'
This will be a historic, backs to the wall victory for Ireland following the injuries to O’Connell, sexton and O’Mahoney.

TRY IRELAND! And Conor Murray has the wits about him to pick the ball up and touch it against the base of the post after Rory Best is brought down just short.
71'
Ireland rumbling up towards the French line again. One more try would kill it for sure.
70'
France with ten minutes to rescue this but now Jamie Heaslip is down with a bloody nose. He’s made of tough stuff and up he gets.
69'
France working the phases but getting sloppy and penalised for crossing, Talles and Parra getting all mixed up.

68'
Really poor work from Morgan Parra as he appears to drop it as O’Brien gets in his way before passing the ball forward. Good attacking position lost.
67'
France have an advantage for a high tackle from McGrath on Parra. They go for the corner and now it’s alarm bells for Ireland.
66'
Debaty on for Arous again for France as France gain a lineout near half way.
65'
Now Chris Henry has taken a bash to the head and looks slightly unsteady although he tells Nigel Owens he is okay.
64'
Hearing that Keith Earls was an injury replacement. Another one bites the dust!
