One of the most amazing games of rugby we've seen...

Ireland beat France today by 24-9 in an absolutely astonishing game of rugby in Cardiff and understandably, we're on a super high here in JOE Towers, along with the rest of the country. Despite losing Johnny Sexton and Paul O'Connell to injuries in the first half, the team showed incredible character to step up without two of their main players. Ian Madigan and Iain Henderson stepped into the breach and some powerful performances from Sean O'Brien and Conor Murray meant Ireland won the match. Here are some of the best images from the stupendous/outstanding/magical/incredible/unbelievable (we could go on forever) win... 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France Ireland's Rob Kearney scores their first try supported by Robbie Henshaw Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Dan Sheridan 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France FranceÕs Frederic Michalak and Tommy Bowe of Ireland Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/James Crombie [caption id="attachment_515245" align="aligncenter" width="3550"]2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France IrelandÕs Rob Kearney scores the opening try Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/James Crombie 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France IrelandÕs Rob Kearney celebrates his try with Tommy Bowe, Conor Murray and Robbie Henshaw Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/James Crombie[/caption] 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France Ireland's Jamie Heaslip after the game Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Dan Sheridan 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France Ireland's Jamie Heaslip celebrates the final whistle Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Dan Sheridan 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France Ireland's Tommy Bowe celebrates winning Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Dan Sheridan 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France IrelandÕs Robbie Henshaw and Ian Madigan celebrate winning Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Billy Stickland 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France IrelandÕs Sean O'Brien celebrates winning Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Billy Stickland 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France IrelandÕs Robbie Henshaw celebrates winning Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Billy Stickland 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France Ireland fans celebrate winning Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Billy Stickland 2015 Rugby World Cup Group D, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 11/10/2015 Ireland vs France A view of the final score Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Dan Sheridan
