They got lucky here.
Ireland got the job done at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon with a 26-14 bonus-point win over France to keep their slim chances of retaining the Six Nations Championship alive.
Tries from Rory Best, Johnny Sexton, Jack Conan and Keith Earls proved to be enough, with France crashing over for two late tries to somewhat take the gloss of a much-improved Irish performance.
But France can consider themselves quite lucky to have been awarded their second try in the final seconds after they appeared to somehow hold themselves up over the line.
Have a close look below. It looks like Fickou gets in the way of his teammate, preventing him from grounding the ball. Only France would be capable of holding themselves up over the line!
