Dupont's pass is off a French players head and Ireland dot down for a 22 drop out

Brilliant break from Marchand and he powers his way to within 5m of the line

Flat ball to Alldritt hitting it up in midfield

Back to Lowe who finds touch but not much ground is made

Jalibert gets the second half underway for France, taken by Stander

Lol

France failed to score in the first-half during their last trip to Ireland in the Six Nations (14-26 defeat in 2019), the only time they have remained pointless in the first-half of an away game in the Championship over the last 10 years.

France take a 10-3 lead over Ireland into halftime. Both sides missed their opening kicks at goal, but Ireland slotted their second midway through the half to lead 3-0. France then picked up a yellow card 23 minutes in, but despite Ireland being up a man and dominating both territory and possession, it was France who struck with the games opening try to hit the front 7-3. France would add a late penalty to take a seven point advantage into the break.

Jalibert sends it into touch and that will be halftime

France keep it tight
