O'Connell frustrated by draw

Ireland captain Paul O’Connell spoke of his frustration and disappointment after seeing his side denied a rare away victory over France by a second-half fightback from the home side in today’s rearranged RBS 6 Nations showdown.

Ireland had looked on course for only their second win in Paris since 1972 after establishing a 17-6 half-time lead on the back of two Tommy Bowe tries.
