Sat 1 Apr 2023 18.39 BSTIreland suffered a second straight Six Nations defeat as they were thrashed 53-3 by France at Musgrave Park in Cork.- who easily made it two wins from two and ran in nine tries despite having Annaelle Deshaye sent off in the first half.
Deshaye was shown a red card for a high tackle in the 20th minute and Ireland put their first points on the board from the resulting penalty but, despite being a player down France then added their third try after a good hand-off by Forlani saw Pauline Bourdon burst through to ground between the posts.
Bourdon quickly scored a second after making a great block from Dannah O’Brien’s attempted kick to secure the bonus point and the scrum-half very nearly earned her hat-trick, but unselfishly passed for Gabrielle Vernier to cross. Although Ireland had a brighter start to the second half, France used the driving maul effectively for Agathe Sochat to extend their lead and a bounced pass saw Cyrielle Banet ground in the right corner.
