Hello and welcome to our live coverage from Bordeaux as France take on Ireland in this World Cup warm-up clash.

OH DEAR - IRELAND LOSE THE LINE-OUT - more problems at the line-out cost Ireland and there is the full-time whistle. Great fight-back from Ireland but France hang on for the win.

Ireland now have a line-out five metres out after France give away another cheap penalty and O'Gara kicks to touch.

The scrum does down and Ireland get the blame - penalty for France - that could be enough.

Ireland now pressing and they move into the French 22 - Skrela then knocks on FIVE METRES from his own line...Ireland will have the scrum - great finish here.

A bit of kicking back and forth at the moment - as we get down to the final five minutes. Ireland need a converted try to draw.

Fitzgerald is able to run out of the 22 after French lose the ball trying to push forward off the line-out.

McFadden forced to kick into touch after a clever little kick from the excellent Yachvili.

The crowd enjoying this as France again move the ball in hand to close to the Irish 22.

(19-12) 10 metres in from the touchline and outside the 22 but no problem for Yachvili who puts a bit of distance between the sides again.

France start chucking the ball around and get to the 22 – they knock on but an Irish man tackled a French player without the ball and they have another penalty here.

Penalty for France at their 22, it could have gone the other way to be honest, France clear to halfway.

McFadden on for Trimble

(16-12) Huge kick from Yachvili both in terms of distance and in the context of the match.

Ireland up in the scrum after a big French push midway between the 10m line and the half-way line and Yachvili will try his luck from here.

Bonnaire on for Harinordoquy.

Flannery and Murray are now on for Best and Reddan - Medard on for Traille. Flanagan has been on a couple of minutes and already the Irish line-out looks much improved with him and O'Connell on the pitch.

O'Gara proves he is human by missing the kick.

Ireland win another penalty as France can't deal with an Irish maul off a line-out - just outside the 22 five metres in from the left.

Ireland just battering France in this half - Paul O'Connell has been immense since coming on - great kick over the defence from Felix Jones puts more pressure on now.

Lionel Nallet has come on for Romain Millo-Chluski.
