    Of the 15 tries, six were scored by Dany Denuwelaere and five by Damien Dore.

    They were the difference makers, with Denuwelaere's pace and strength way too much for the Irish players, particularly after half time.

    Jonathan Hivernat looks certain to score in the corner, but has his tag snatched at the last as two Irish defenders converge.

    Great work by Ireland there.

    Into the final few minutes in this one.

    For the first time there is a bit of needle, as Tom Martin knocks over an opponent with a hip thrust.

    In the end, hands are shaken and we all move on.

    France will not be happy. This is why sometimes it's impotent to just slow down.

    Joseph Calcott (70 mins)

    France won't be happy with this one. Melanie Griffith sets up Joe Calcott from a penalty and he wheels between defenders to score with minimal challenge.

    Two more added for Ireland, who are aiming to match the 32 points they scored versus England.

    Ireland have not given up!

    A punt is chased down by Cian Horgan, and despite being taken out by a last-gasp French tackle he manages to get the ball down.

    Oran Spain adds two more. A welcome bit of relief for the team in green.

    Dany Denuwelaere (60 mins)

    Irish chairs fly everywhere as they desperately try to stem the flow. Two players are left flat on the ground after attempted tackles.

    But the big Dany Denuwelaere cannot be stopped, and adds to the carnage.
