Ireland are giving it all they've got in the Womens Rugby World Cup.

The Irish are losing 8-7 to New Zealand at half time in this group stage game just outside Paris.

Philip Doyle's charges dominated for long spells but couldn't break through a resolute Kiwis defence.

The Black Ferns took the lead against the run of play with a penalty before adding a try in the 26th minute.

Ireland roared back and number 8 Heather O'Brien touched down just after the half hour mark with Niamh Briggs adding the conversion to narrow the deficit to one point going into the second half.
