Bye for now
FT: Ireland 13-15 France
That is all for now though.
You can check out Michael Morrow's report from the Aviva Stadium.
"A result and performance that will do little to support the belief from inside the camp that this is an Irish side on an upward curve," he writes.
And if you want a little taster before you tune into Rugby Special then check out the action below from Twickenham, Murrayfield and the Aviva Stadium respectively.
Bye for now...

Ireland coach Andy Farrell speaking to ITV Sport: "I thought we managed the game really well in the first half, I thought we were going according to plan and doing very well in the set-piece, but I thought we lost our way in the third quarter.
"A lot of the lads put their bodies on the line for their country, that is not the problem."

Some massive numbers from France number eight Gregory Alldritt by the way.
He racked up 71m with ball in hand, more than any other player.
'France showed their full range'

That was a sensational game of Six Nations rugby. France showed their full range of skills and incredible discipline to hold their line at the end.
Credit to Ireland with all the injuries they have had to come back and make a game of it.
Byrne in driving seat?

I fear it might be a while before we see Billy Burns starting for Ireland again. Ross Byrne looked to put a tiger in the Ireland tank when he came on and was steadier off the tee.
Burns' missed penalty in the 17th minute could be construed as the difference in the final scoreline.

France showed they can win ugly as well as play the beautiful rugby we saw last weekend.

The confidence in the France team is built on a solid foundation of excellent game plan and excellent execution. They are clinical.

'Where is the creation in attack?'
Ireland 13-15 France
Tommy Bowe
Former Ireland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
It was a tight game, but Ireland will be very disappointed because they had a chance to cause an upset. France were not the vintage side we have seen. They made a lot of mistakes, and didn't create much but they took their chances.
That's the first time Ireland have lost two games at the start of a Six Nations.
They had loads of ball and lots of exciting players but they seem to go side to side. They don't seem to be creating anything, there's no direction, and there will be huge questions about their attack coach Mike Catt because we're not seeing much of a template going forward that is very exciting.
Full-time

That's it!
All done. France have a first win in Dublin in a decade.
And you have to say they deserve it.

A shove from a French chaser as they pursue an Antoine Dupont box-kick.
Penalty Ireland just outside their own 22m.
Ross Byrne rifles the kick up to halfway. Green throw into the line-out... One minute left. Possibly the final play coming up...

France wing Teddy Thomas plucks the ball out the sky as Ireland go aerial.
But that is lovely from Jamison Gibson-Park who flicks the ball out the back door to James Lowe.
Lowe has a foot in touch though. France throw into a lineout with two minutes to go...

Will Connors, who has joined the action, does superbly to scrag Antoine Dupont. Blue knock-on. Green scrum.
But nearly the length of the field to go and only five minutes on the clock....

Antoine Dupont snipes up the blindside, hand-off pumping like a piston as Tadhg Furlong and Jamison Gibson-Park both are served a portion of palm pie.
Ireland scramble in defence. France have a scrum, 20m out from the line.
Off the upright!

Matthieu Jalibert's kick thuds off the post and back into play!
Ireland clear. But the danger isn't done yet...
