Your support makes all the difference.France made it two wins from two this afternoon after they managed to beat Ireland 10-9 at the Stade De France.
The match wasn’t much of a spectacle and Maxime Medard scored the only try of the match, following a neat move that came from French dominance at the scrum.
Ireland, on the other hand, couldn’t manage to breach the French defence, with all their points coming from the boot of Jonathan Sexton. Joe Schmidt’s side are still yet to win a match in this year’s tournament and face the tricky test of England at Twickenham in the next round.
