Ireland attacking the France Tryline again .... a bit on the slow side however

They just cannot get the ball to ground as France hold the ball up.

Ireland have a throw in near France's Tryline

They are attacking and making ground

Can they get some points on the board?

They are fighting for it, but France Women's defence is very strong.

They are at phase 11.... 12... 13 .... 3 metres out

Phase 15 .... 16 ....17 .... 18

They still can't get through

Phase 21 ..... 22 ... Tryline is still 3m away

phase 24 ... nearly there .... BUT THE BALL WAS HELD UP:-0

PENALTY IRELAND

Scrum Infringement by France Women

Score still at 21 - 0 to France

France is back up to full strength now, and Ireland failed to capitalise on the extra man while the French Woman was in the Sinbin

Penalty to France kicked to position and a lineout yet again

The second half has started before I'm back with my cuppa!

I'm watching on the upstairs telly :-D

No change in the score but there's a French Woman in the Sinbin

Half Tome Cheerleading on my ownsome again! :-( :-D

FRANCE IS ATTACKING STRONGLY YET AGAIN

But Ireland were very lucky as France conceded a penalty for not releasing.

Ireland kick downfield for a lineout and clear the Tryline

what a run by Chloe Pelle ..... made great ground ... but ball was lost forward

IRISH WOMAN ( JENNY MURPHY I think)WITH A BLEEDING NOSE

Someone has stepped into the breach .... but not with Our Pat's expertise I hasten to add ;-) :-D :-D

SCRUM FRANCE

It's out and there's a break by Full Back Montserrat Amedee

But forward pass and offside by France

Many of these Ireland Women are older that what is usual for international players, well the men anyway

Ireland Women Lock, Marie Louise Reilly eg, is 37

Phase 18 .... but after all that they knock on :-0

Ireland Women have upped their game it seems and they are on the attack.
They are well in France Territory and at Phase 14
