Adam Griggs insists his Ireland women’s side will have to improve significantly to beat France, despite annihilating Wales 45-0 in Cardiff.

Ireland might have run riot in the Welsh capital, scoring seven tries in the process, but they faced very little resistance throughout the game, making it difficult to gauge how good they really are.
