Fourth kickable penalty Ireland have given away.
O’Mahony PINGED.
Spedding nails it from 54 metres.
6-6.
It’s like being there.
Superb work from Sean O’Brien but the nightmare vista unfolding now for Ireland as Jonny Sexton lies injured.
Whack a mole from Picamoles.
Sexton goes off.
Ian Madigan on.
A chance for Madigan to finally banish the demons of his infamous missed kick for Blackrock against Kilkenny College in the 2007 Leinster Senior Scools Cup.
Poor sexton.
He is taking a lot of heavy hits in his career and I feel sorry for the guy.
CTE, why rugby football is not long for this world.
If Ian Madigan can guide Ireland to a win here he’ll surely be in line to have another cake baked for him by his girlfriend.
A Madigan penalty puts Ireland 9-6 up.
Some kick for touch by madigan.
Ireland’s first lost lineout on their own throw in this competition.
Earlsy!
OH NO!
Fucking earls.
Ireland have missed an open goal.
Earls…
Earls shat his pants there.
Earls got a touch of the Gooch Cooper there.
He should have caught it.
Still, we are 3 points up at 36 mins so that’s good.
If gooch had done that …
Rub of the green for Mads with that kick.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Great stuff from Madigan.
That last French lineout throw was crooked.
