How did we get here?<\/p>\n

Ireland took comprehensive wins in their first two pool games against Japan and Spain before suffering a bruising 40-0 loss to New Zealand last weekend. That left the team as runners-up in Pool C, placing them in a quarter-final with Pool D winners France.<\/p>\n

For their part, Les Bleus came through the pool stages unscathed, taking wins over Italy, Brazil and South Africa.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s their head-to-head record?<\/p>\n

Ireland and France are familiar opponents by virtue of the Six Nations.<\/p>\n

In this year\u2019s championship, the French \u2013 ranked fourth in the world to Ireland\u2019s fifth \u2013 took a 27-15 victory in Belfast on the opening weekend.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a similar story in each of their Six Nations encounters back as far as 2017, when Ireland secured a narrow 13-10 in Donnybrook. However, France promptly bounced back with a 21-5 win six months later in the World Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What\u2019s happening?
