Slam within sight for superb Ireland

Ireland Women 15 France Women 10

It means that they are one game away from recording a historic Grand Slam success, having already secured a Triple Crown for the very first time.

With President Michael D Higgins and Sports Minister Leo Varadkar in attendance at the Co Meath Venue, the Irish fell behind to a sixth minute penalty from fly-half Sandrina Agricole, but superb combination play from the in-form Alison Miller, Lynne Cantwell and Joy Neville set up Briggs for a try in the right-corner.
