Pic: Ian Madigan suggests a higher power was on his side against France

Maybe Ireland had some support from above against France

Ian Madigan was called on briefly during Ireland's win against France when Jonathan Sexton was receiving treatment for a blow to the head and the Leinster out-half kicked a vital second-half penalty as the hosts won 18-11 at the Aviva Stadium. The 26-year-old has posted a picture of the kick on his Instagram page today that shows him bathed in light from above, and he has playfully suggested that a higher power may have helped him find the target. http://instagram.com/p/zM6MMfkyov/ Whether the man upstairs was helping or not, it's a stunning picture.
