Good start, bonus point but need improvement in the clubbing.

Tús maith,pointe bónais ach gá le feabhas sa chlibirt.

The Irish rugby team had a tidy away win tonight as they kicked off the Six Nations.

Bhí bua slachtmhar as baile ag foireann rugbaí na hÉireann anocht agus tús á chur acu le Comórtas na Sé Náisiún.

Andy Farrell's players edged France by 14 points at the 'Orange Vélodrome' Stadium over in Marseille.

Chloígh imreoirí Andy Farrell an Fhrainc le farasbarr 14 pointe i Staid an 'Orange Vélodrome' thall i Marseille.

4 minutes to half time in this clash the Irish fans were singing 'Fields of Athenry' at the top of their voices.

4 nóiméad go leath-am sa choimhlint seo bhí lucht leanúna na hÉireann ag canadh 'Fields of Athenry' in ard a ngutha.

They were fully optimistic by then that they would be the ones celebrating when the whistle blew for the final hour of the game.

Bhí siad iomlán dóchasach faoin tráth sin gur iadsan a bheadh ag ceiliúradh nuair a shéidfí an fheadóig den uair dheiridh sa chluiche.

And although Les Bleus drew closer to the champions of this competition after 40 minutes of play, Ireland were well ahead of their opponents in the second half.

Agus cé gur tharraing Les Bleus níos gaire do sheaimpíní an chomórtais seo i ndiaidh 40 nóiméad imeartha, bhí Éirinn i bhfad chun cinn ar a gcéillí comhraic sa dara leath.

The great radio commentator Michael Corcoran made his own summary of the exhibition saying that it was a game that saw 'the big beef knife in the heart of the French'.

Is é an tráchtaire mór raidió sin Michael Corcoran a rinne a choimre fhéin ar an taispeántas ag rá gur cluiche é a chonaic 'scian mhór na mairteola i gcroí na bhFrancach'.

In the end, the Irish scored 5 goals, which ensured them a bonus point and France got nothing out of this game worth talking about.

Ar deiridh, scóráil na hÉireannaigh 5 úd, chinntigh sin pointe bónais dóibh agus ní bhfuair an Fhrainc tada as an gcluiche seo arbh fhiú caint air.

Leinster man Joe McCarthy was awarded the player of the match award.

Bronnadh gradam imreoir an chluiche ar fhear Chúige Laighean, Joe McCarthy.

Calvin Nash will have a special memory of this night, his first senior game in the Ireland jersey for him as he got it in the second half.

Beidh cuimhne ar leith ag Calvin Nash ar an oíche seo, a chéad chluiche sinsir i ngeansaí na hÉireann dósan agus é ag fáil úd sa dara leath.

Jack Crowley would like to put penalty kicks and saves between the posts and there was also fine work from Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadgh Beirne, Dan Sheehan and Ronan Kelleher The Irish can be proud of their play in the back line, and there was mastery of them in the stretch out during the night.

Ba mhaith ó Jack Crowley ciceanna píonóis agus slánaithe a chur idir na postaí agus chonacthas úid bhreátha freisin ó Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadgh Beirne,Dan Sheehan agus Ronan Kelleher Féadfaidh na hÉireannaigh a bheith mórtasach as a gcuid imeartha sa líne cúil, agus bhí máistreacht acu sa síneadh amach i gcaitheamh na hoíche.

The only concern according to the experts of the game was that the Irish team was not more than a recommendation of two in the club, and that 'that must improve if we are to see Caithréim Mór again in this competition'.

An t-aon ábhar imní dar le saineolaithe an chluiche nach raibh foireann na hÉireann thar mholadh beirte sa chlibirt, agus 'go gcaithfidh sin feabhsú má táimíd leis an gCaithréim Mhór a fheiceáil arís sa chomórtas seo'.
