"But the way we built our way into the game was very satisfying; really good set-play try. There were certainly plenty of good elements until that time.

Monday morning will reveal a world rankings boost for Ireland and will sting for French rugby fans that have already endured their country losing to New Zealand, South Africa and drawing with Japan this month. Ireland will climb to third in the world [up from fourth] and will only have England and New Zealand ahead of them. Australia, who were third, drop a place after getting flaked 53-24 by Scotland at Murrayfield. The rest of the top 10 is unchanged until we reach Argentina. They climb to eighth despite losing to Ireland, on account of the French draw with Japan. France are now at an all-time low of ninth and they have lost five and drawn one of their last six Test outings. PROJECTED RANKINGS
