Six Nations: France claim win over Ireland with early try from Antoine Dupont
Ireland could not do enough to stop France in their Six Nations clash on Saturday after the home side took an early lead.
Ireland arrived in Paris without the services of injured skipper Johnny Sexton for a crunch Guinness Six Nations clash with pre-tournament favourites France.
Both sides began with bonus-point wins and, while the championship cannot be won at Stade de France, the match could have major ramifications for the title.
Joey Carbery filled in for Sexton at fly-half to make his first Six Nations start in the only change to Andy Farrell’s starting XV following victory over Wales.
Ready for Round 2!
