    France 7-0 Ireland

    Bielle-Biarrey is more than just a speedster

    The curse of the French TMO replays strikes again. Forward

    Former Ireland second row on BBC Radio Ulster

    An incredible finish and Bielle-Biarrey is absolutely magic when he gets going.

    Ireland might be disappointed with their tackling but he is so lethal with ball in hand.

    The finish is exceptional, regardless of the pass. Ireland will be disappointed with the tackling but that acceleration from Bielle-Biarrey.

    I have serious doubts about that pass.

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey (con Ramos)

    And Ramos' conversion is good.

    He scored eight tries in last year's tournament, and Bielle-Biarrey has his first after 15 minutes in Paris.

    He was initially brought down but got back to his feet and showed great pace to slide over the line.

    That was so good from the French team, Bielle-Biarrey got tackled three times and he managed to skin everyone.

  6. France 5-0 Ireland

    Thomas Ramos is lining up the conversion. The officials are happy.

  7. France 5-0 Ireland

    Definitely that goes forward in the build up.

  8. try

    Try - France 5-0 Ireland

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey

    The French wing is over for the first time in 2026, but did it go forward in the build-up?

  9. France 0-0 Ireland

    It's knocked forward in the tackle by Tadhg Beirne, and it's sent clear by France.

    Jamie Osborne scampers across to get it out of the Irish 22, and France are now going through the hands in the middle of the park.

  10. France 0-0 Ireland

    Gibson-Park fires the ball into the Paris night and it's gathered at the second attempt by Theo Attissogbe.

    It's cleared and Ireland have it back, and they are just outside the 22.

    That is two opportunities now for Ireland, they have to turn them into points.

    We saw the French threat down the wing early but Ireland have plenty to worry France on attack too.

    Ireland are kicking to compete but France are happy for distance and the kick chase in behind to try and catch Ireland.

  14. France 0-0 Ireland

    Beautiful from Sam Prendergast as he dinks a delightful kick into space for Tommy O'Brien.

    The wing drives forward and puts in a chip of his own.

    It's gathered by Thomas Ramos and France clear, but that was lovely vision from Prendergast.

    That's why he's in the team.

  15. France 0-0 Ireland

    Ireland can't take for granted getting into the 22 that quickly.

  16. France 0-0 Ireland

    It's good from France and Jalibert boots it clear.

    It doesn't find touch, but Jamie Osborne is brought down on halfway.

  17. France 0-0 Ireland

    You can se this Irish team are looking to stay 'long and on' with this ball.

  18. France 0-0 Ireland

    The rain in Paris is causing a few issues.

    The line-out is good but Josh van der Flier spills it forward on the floor.

    A first scrum for France.

  19. France 0-0 Ireland

    Superb.

    Jamie Osborne lands a massive 50/22 kick into the French half and Dan Sheehan will be able to throw in about 10 metres out.

    Mega kick.

  20. France 0-0 Ireland

    The ball comes back out this time and Jamison GIbson-Park hammers it downfield.

    Nicolas Depoortere makes 20 metres with a big carry, but Ireland turn it over and have it back in their own half.
