Arguably the best scrum half in the world, big Conor Murray scored the only try of this dour but compelling struggle and was also pivotal in Ireland's first half revival after their second sluggish start in the 2017 Six Nations. This time, France didn't emulate Scotland by building an unassailable lead, but it took a disqualified try to get the Irish out of jail. After conceding a six-point lead to the visitors, the Oirish actually proceeded to win the rest of the skirmish by an emphatic nineteen points to three, denying the away team even the crumb of a losing bonus point.
