Ireland fought back from a 12-point deficit, but France held on for a 15-13 win in Dublin to go top of the Six Nations standings.

France took a 15-3 lead thanks to tries either side of half-time from flanker Charles Ollivon and winger Damian Penaud, but Ireland fought back courtesy of a try from replacement hooker Ronan Kelleher and the boot of replacement fly-half Ross Byrne to get within two points of the visitors.

However, France held on to register their first win in Dublin since 2011 to go to the top of the Six Nations standings at the end of the second round of fixtures.
