We've had confirmation from Aimee Barrett-Theron that prop Rose Bernadou's card will remain a yellow, and she can return.

It's over thrown by Neve Jones, but Gabrielle Vernier knocks it on and Ireland now have the scrum five metres out.

I have really enjoyed Ireland firing the shots which they didn't do last week and the variety they have showed in attack. That is what we wanted to see, but the fast start is no good if you can't maintain it. They need to stay patient but high-energy.

Ireland now win the scrum penalty. All the wee decisions are going their way, but the still only have one try on the board.

O'Brien sticks it into the corner.

It's a loose throw from France and Neve Jones and Niamh O'Dowd do really well to keep Manae Feleu up in the air for form a maul, and Ireland then win the scrum as that ball wasn't coming back.

Big turnover from France, who get over the ball after Fiona Tuite carried the ball into a pile of bodies.

I think that was a fair call, I didn't expect it to be upgraded. Ireland need another score.

Dannah O'Brien brings Ireland back into the 22 and they'll have the throw.

Rose Bernadou is sent to the sin bin as she was upright in the tackle, and there's going to be a bunker review.

Here is how Linda Djougang crashed over after a well-worked Irish move to give Ireland the lead in Exeter.

Referee Aimee Barrett-Theron is going to her TMO for a look at that tackle on Higgins.

There's a stoppage after a heavy collision in the middle of the pitch as Eve Higgins ran into Rose Bernadou, which has left the French prop requiring some treatment.

It has been much better from Ireland. They are hungry for this.

That will suit Ireland nicely, as Pauline Bourdon Sansus kicks clear, but the wind stops it getting too far and Ireland will have the throw just outside the 22.

Stacey Flood is given a bit of a hospital pass and knocks the ball forwards when being tackled.

The tackle count stands at 41 for France, and only eight for Ireland. Both teams have missed one apiece, which is impressive given the slippery conditions.

Ireland are back in the French 22 as Eve Higgins races onto a neat O'Brien pass.

This has been one-way traffic in the opening 15 minutes.

If at first you don't succeed.....

Brilliant from Niamh O'Dowd, who forces the turnover by forming a maul and Ireland win the ball back.

Scott Bemand was asked at his team announcement on Thursday what it meant that Aoife Wafer would be wearing seven rather than her usual eight on her comeback from injury.

The head coach was coy then, but the side's star back row has been scrummaging off the flank when France have the ball and coming off the base when it's Ireland's put in.
