81'+1		19-9 End of second half
80'		Marmion kicks the ball out of play but perhaps deep in French 22, they should have either gone for a second try. It is building up to an Ireland v England showdown on St Patrick's Day for the Championship.
79'		Henderson gathers in the lineout and Nigel Owens calls a ruck. Ireland making good yards, winding down the clock and in control. Zebo kicks the ball through and Huget runs into touch. Ireland lineout. Can they finish with a try? Last play says Nigel Owens.
