Ireland are still without a win in this years Six Nations Championship after going down 10 – 9 in a dull match against France at Stade de France on Saturday afternoon.

There was an inevitability about the 71st minute try by Maxime Médard with the French forwards taking control in the second half after trailing 3 – 9 at the break.

Ireland had their chances, in a low quality first half, with Robbie Henshaw and CJ Sander knocking on close to the line, but by then the French had already set the tone with an abrasive defence and a few off the ball niggles.
