Does it feel like a setback at all to you personally?

And finally, from the reaction in Clermont, I spoke with a distraught Aoife Dalton in the wake of last night's defeat to France.

Aoife spoke about those disallowed tries in the first half and what lessons can be taken from the game.

Aoife Dalton must be massively disappointed after that result.

You seem pretty distraught about those moments in particular.

How do you get over things like that?

Because I'm sure you could spend all day and all night thinking about them, but how do you move past that now?

And what was that crowd like out there?

I heard it was a sellout.

Famously, a pretty awful atmosphere to play in in terms of as an away side.

You must be getting sick of close games at France.

Where do you think the progress will be made now?

There's been a few close games in a row.

What needs to happen to get over the line?

It was a very close game with such fine margins.

And finally, Scott and Erin were quite positive around the direction of the group.

Do you feel the same?

Is that the most important thing now, do you think?

That's all from a busy night in the Stade Marcel Michelin.

A disappointing evening for the Irish, but plenty to build on for the remaining two rounds of this campaign.
