Madigan puts the restart out on the full

For no other reason than the ref!!!! France did not deserve that try!!

games over

French scrum half is lively shame we haven't got that type of class in our ranks

After 4 consecutive scrums, Medard crosses for the game's first score, splitting the defence on a simple, scything line

very poor from ireland

France lead now with ten minutes to go

Ireland simply not good enough

Machenaud carries and draws his man to put Medard in under the posts

Unlucky lads, balls effort though
