Match Summary:
France secured their first points of the tournament with a spiteful 11-2 victory over a plucky Irish outfit in the third match of the evening.
French winger Frederic Marcerou proved the difference between the two sides, booting three penalty goals and a late field goal to resign Ireland back-to-back defeats, with the judiciary sure to be kept busy with two players sent off for their involvement in a wild all-in brawl in the games closing stages. | | | |
