United States France v Ireland LIVE: Score and latest updates as Six Nations 2024 ...
Ireland train ahead of their opening Six Nations match against France
The Six Nations returns this evening with France hosting Ireland, who hope to defend their Grand Slam crown and put a devastating Rugby World Cup behind them in a tantalising contest in Marseille.
The start of a new cycle has seen significant change in the six competing unions after a thrilling Rugby World Cup last autumn but Andy Farrell’s Ireland and Fabien Galthie’s France still head into the championship as favourites.
The winner of this titanic clash will be odds-on to lift the trophy but both sides look different to when we last saw them as Johnny Sexton has retired from international rugby for the men in green while Les Bleus have lost mega-star Antoine Dupont, who is focusing on rugby sevens ahead of the Olympics in Paris.

Six Nations 2024: France v Ireland
Show latest updateTRY! France 0-10 Ireland (Jamison Gibson-Park 17’)
Well, well, well. Ireland go 10 points ahead and it’s a lovely try!

France 0-3 Ireland
16 mins: Paul Willemse survives. His sin-bin stays as a yellow because of the drop in height of Porter. He’ll be back on the field in a few mins

France 0-3 Ireland
15 mins: More good work from McCarthy at the breakdown - the lock having a storming start to this match

France 0-3 Ireland
12 mins: As Harry says, Crowley hasn’t done much in phase play so far and when he does, it’s a grubber kick that goes dead. Quick thinking by Penaud who takes the 22 drop-out immediately and boots it long with Ireland still retreating. Good territory flip by the French winger.

France 0-3 Ireland
Here’s a word from our man on the ground in Marseille, Harry Latham-Coyle
That simple starter should steady the nerves a bit for Jack Crowley on a big night for the Ireland fly half. Having his first kick from hand charged down would not have been the start he'd have wanted, and he hasn't yet really had a touch in phase play with which to work.

BUNKER REVIEW! France 0-3 Ireland
9 mins: Here we go again! Remember the bunker reviews from the World Cup? They’re back! Paul Willemse given a yellow card as his shoulder makes contact with the head of Porter.
Now the bunker will review it and see if it’s upgraded to a red card. An anxious wait for the France lock

France 0-3 Ireland
8 mins: Breakdown turnover by Peter O’Mahony. The old warhorse, and Ireland’s new captain, making his mark. Did he support his own bodyweight before jackalling the ball? Hmm... He may have got away with one but won’t care a jot.
We’ve now got a TMO review as Andrew Porter is cleared out of a breakdown by Paul Willemse. Is that a headshot by the French lock?

PENALTY! France 0-3 Ireland (Jack Crowley 7’)
And Ireland are on the board first as Jack Crowley slots the simplest of penalties from bang in front.
Some powerful carries by young lock Joe McCarthy in that spell of play, as well as some big clearouts. The 22-year-old making his mark.

France 0-0 Ireland
6 mins: Lineout maul well defended by France. Ireland keep it in the tight as Aki and Beirne do the one-up carries. Another penalty coming so Ireland go wide but Gibson-Park’s pass easily cut out.
Back for the penalty and this time they’ll go for the posts.
Luke Baker2 February 2024 20:07
France 0-0 Ireland
4 mins: First spell of possession for Ireland after Lowe nicks an interception turnover and they run through the phases. Solid defence from France although Mauvaka is caught offside to give away the penalty.
Would be a tricky kick for Crowley just inside the opposition half, so he kicks for the corner. Quite bold though
