There is no big finish from Ireland as Neve Jones knocks on. However, Ireland have been good in spells but France have been more clinical so far. It came after a bit of helter skelter play as both teams threw the ball around. The French pack is certainly piling on the pressure.

Ireland will hope to kickstart their Women’s Six Nations campaign by upsetting France in Saturday’s opener. The hosts haven’t won a Six Nations title since 2015, stunted by an era of England dominance, though are growing under the coaching of Scott Bemand and secured a signature win over New Zealand at WXV in the autumn.
