Ireland and France share the spoils in 2013

A Six Nations campaign that both sides will want to forget as France collected the wooden spoon with Ireland finishing second from bottom with a better points difference. Both sides went into the game needing a win and it was Ireland who started the better going into the break with a 13-3 lead thanks to the boot of Paddy Jackson and a try from Jamie Heaslip. Ireland failed to increase their lead in the second half and a Morgan Parra penalty cut the deficit to seven until Louis Picamoles went over the whitewash with five minutes left to tie the game. Both sides looked for a winning score but in the end shared the spoils in a 13-13 draw.
