The France rugby team burst into life when Maxime Medard's second‑half try inspired them to their first victory over Ireland in five years with a 10‑9 win in the Six Nations this morning.
Defending champions, Ireland's points came from the penalties of Jonny Sexton, who was replaced with a suspected neck problem near the end.
France, who lost 24‑9 to the Irish in the Rugby World Cup pool phase, now lead the standings with two wins after beating Italy 23‑21 in their opening game.
Fiji born, Virimi Vakatawa also played for France this morning.
Meanwhile, Wales beat Scotland 27-23 in another Six Nations match.
