The maul picks up tremendous pace as it approaches the Irish whitewash but is dragged down short. A scuffle unfolds between a couple of players, and the referee has a word..

After a lively start to the half, the Irish have lost some momentum and are struggling to break into the visitors' half. The French earn a line-out just inside the Irish 22 and opt for the catch-and-drive.

Just over your query

Where is the update for that try??

A wayward lineout ball is scooped up by Claire Molloy who bursts into the French half with her teammates in support. They look to move it wide and capitalise on the back-pedalling French defence, but Boujard snaps up an intercept and is in for a try the other end. The conversion is good, and the French pull in front.

After a couple stagnant phases, Stapleton fires the ball high in the sky and Miller provides the chase. Jessy Tremouliere collects but leaves the ball behind here as she brushes past an Irish tackle. The French recover but suffer another penalty moments later - diving into the ruck.

Possession back with the Irish now and they're making terrific progress downfield - French defence begins to crack and eventually concedes a penalty - entering the ruck from the side.

Currently with a scrum on half way - French put in, but Ireland dominate and N'Diaye just about gets away with possession..

Marine Denadai earns herself a yellow card when she's caught collapsing a rolling Irish maul. Ireland immediately kick for the corner. They gather their own lineout ball and drive over the whitewash. Try Ireland! Conversions a tough one though, and Stapleton's attempt falls short.

Ireland win possession against the head and Jenny Murphy carries well to bring Ireland to within 10 metres.
