Dublin - Flyhalf Jonathan Sexton produced a man of the match performance on his return after a 12 week absence to inspire defending Six Nations champions Ireland to an 18-11 victory over France at Lansdowne Road on Saturday.
The 29-year-old - who was stood down for suffering four concussions last year - kicked 15 points against a France side that only really sparked into gear in the final 10 minutes, when they scored the only try of the game through Romain Taofifenua.
It took Ireland's winning streak to nine tests - their second best ever run - but that will be sorely tested by England in a fortnight in Dublin.
