O2 MatchDay Live: France v Ireland
You can follow the fortunes of Ireland this afternoon with our O2 MatchDay Live service. Get up-to-the-minute audio and text commentary from the France v Ireland RBS 6 Nations clash here on IrishRugby.ie.
O2 MatchDay Live will keep you up to date with all the goings on in Paris today as Ireland look to make it two wins out of two in the 2010 RBS 6 Nations and beat France for the second year running.
When these teams met at Croke Park last year, it was an electric encounter that eventually went Ireland’s way on a 30-21 scoreline.
Jamie Heaslip, Brian O’Driscoll and Gordon D’Arcy were the try scorers that day, with Ronan O’Gara kicking the rest of Ireland’s points.
We will have live text commentary direct from the Stade de France of Ireland’s second match of the 2010 Championship, with flanker Stephen Ferris returning from a knee injury, team captain Brian O’Driscoll back at the venue where his international career took off and young winger Keith Earls hoping to flourish on his first RBS 6 Nations start.
Plug in the laptop or turn on the PC and enjoy a flavour of this afternoon’s game live on IrishRugby.ie with thanks to O2, sponsors of MatchDay Live.
There will be full live text and score updates throughout the coverage as Ireland look to continue their winning ways under Declan Kidney – last weekend’s win over Italy was their eleventh victory in a 12-match unbeaten run.
We provide links to the audio match commentary from the RTE Radio 1, BBC Radio Ulster and BBC 5Live teams.
Starting at 4pm with our pre-match build-up (the game kicks off at 4.30pm Irish time), you can feel part of the action on IrishRugby.ie with MatchDay Live.
