The Irish Women's rugby team will focus on the Triple Crown following their 10-5 defeat to France in Ashbourne.
Having weathered a blue storm in the first half, the Irish women came agonisingly close to scoring a late try, which would have set up a conversion to win the match.
The game was delayed for around 40 minutes due to an embarrassing floodlight failure.
Ireland coach Tom Tierney told Ross Lindsay is was a night where his players showed thier mental strength.
