Unreal that Nigel missed that yellow card. Murray taken clean out

Ryan has made 11 carries and made 21m
top no. carries

like role reversal
French underdogs and fighting to prove a point
ireland steady and with bench hope to push on in last 20

French defending well, no clear space to be found. Typical arm-wrestle. France lucky not to have a man in the bin.

Steady first half but Ireland need more pace onto the ball.

It’s a bit worrying

The ball goes out of play and the first half comes to an end. HT here at The Stade de France.

Murray hoists an up and under but France deal with it well

Anyone else getting dey ja vu?

Belleau kicks off and play resumes
