Ireland took a big step towards the Six Nations title and put down a marker ahead of the World Cup later this year as they battled to a thrilling 32-19 win over France in Dublin. A clash between the two best teams in the world, according to the official rankings, was much-anticipated and it lived up to that hype in a sensational first 40 minutes. The match was right in the balance heading into the final ten minutes, when Garry Ringrose went over in the corner to effectively it to bed, sealing the bonus point too as the celebrations began at the Aviva Stadium. AP1676133729More from Ireland’s head coach... 1676133205Andy Farrell: We expected to win“It was a huge game, two great teams going at each other. It is a victory in a competition that we want to do well in.
The fighting spirit was great but we also played some great stuff. “I think we could have come away with a few more points but we won’t be greedy because we got the bonus point. “They are a world-class side but we expected to go out there, perform and win. I’m sure there will be many battles down the line as well. ”1676132765A weekend off now for these two sides, before the Six Nations resumes in a fortnight. Ireland travel to Rome to face Italy, then to Murrayfield as they go up against Scotland. England at home is the last match of the competition for Andy Farrell’s side. Scotland looked good last week at Twickenham, but you’d have to say there’s a very decent chance Ireland go on to get the Grand Slam now.
The match was right in the balance heading into the final ten minutes, when Garry Ringrose went over in the corner to effectively put the match to bed, sealing the bonus point too as the celebrations began at the Aviva Stadium. It ends France’s run of 14 straight wins, a streak that included last year’s Grand Slam, and puts Ireland in pole position for the title and to go unbeaten themselves, with matches against Italy, Scotland and England to come.

The French are an incredible side and it showed out there as we had to work for the whole 80 minutes. “Our fast start was important and then our bench came on and made a big difference. “It was a long time coming, it was the one we were focusing on so it was brilliant that we got it. ”1676132121Two matches. Two victories. Two bonus-point wins. Absolutely perfect start to the Six Nations from Ireland, swept aside Wales last week and proved too good for France here. Could prove to be a very, very special 2023 for the Irish.
