Ireland 32-19 France
There is no question now over the best team in world rugby after Ireland surged to victory on a special Aviva Stadium afternoon.
This was a game of two halves - there were stoppages galore in the first half but it still whizzed by in a blaze of entertaining, riotous rugby played out in front of crowd that included a large and vocal French section. Garry Ringrose's crucial fourth try eight minutes from time allowed the home fans to breathe again - and then party.
From their kick-0ff, however, Les Bleus were forced on the retreat and Finlay Bealham's brilliant disguised pass to Hugo Keenan - a move taken from Leinster's play-book in their Champions Cup semi-final win over Clermont in 2012 - put the full-back in the clear. But Ireland came back firing and, when Hansen got a block on a Ramos clearance, Murray and Sexton moved the ball quickly from right to left.
Sexton's conversion made it 19-13 before he shipped a big tackle on the touchline from Penaud as Ireland hunted for another try, only for a James Ryan neck roll to halt their momentum close to the France lin. Ramos dropped a 46th minute penalty short but Ireland lost their skipper two minutes later and now it was all hands to the pump.
