Match Commentary

82'Stay with ESPNscrum for all the reaction from this game, as well as live coverage of the final fixture of the opening weekend of the Six Nations - France v Scotland.
81'We're in to added time, a scrum five for Ireland, and this will likely get booted to touch as soon as they can. Ian Madigan does just that, and Ireland have a hard-earned win to get their Six Nations defence off to the start they wanted, if only the result rather than the performance.
