Noves hails France's 'ferocious will' after edging Ireland

France coach Guy Noves hailed his side's "ferocious will" after they held on to edge two-time defending Six Nations champions Ireland 10-9 on Saturday to make it two wins from two outings. Jonathan Sexton kicked three first-half penalties to one from Jules Plisson and France looked nowhere near a threat to the Irish for the first hour of the match at a packed Stade de France.
