Full-time: Ireland 0-3 France.

Kyra Carusa is awarded Sky's Player of the Match.

France use up their final sub as Geyoro and Karchaoui come off.

More subs enter play-Lakrar and Le Sommer are replaced by Naomie Feller and Ève Josette Noelle Périsset. On the Irish side, Connoly and Farrelly come off for Abbie Larkin and Dianne Caldwell.

A new attendance record broken in Tallaght Stadium, 7,633 present this evening!

A tribe batch of substitutions for Ireland-Áine O'Gorman, Lily Aqq and Claire O'Riordan replace Fahey, Littlejohn and Payne.

Elisa De Almedia and Clara Mateo replace Diani and Dali.

And it's 3! Lakrar finds herself in acres of space and produces a strong header from a French corner to put the game out of sight.

Pauw looks to be growing increasingly frustrated as Ireland struggle to progress the ball from the back, France clearly having moved up a gear as they suffocate Ireland in their own half.

France looked to have entered a bit of a groove since half-time, knocking the ball around with a new-found freedom while Ireland look that bit less compact.

The action gets back underway in Tallaght!

Half-time: Ireland 0-2 France.

Disaster strikes for Ireland as France makes it two. A tidy passing move is finished off nicely as Kenza Dali threads a ball into the box, Le Sommer latching onto the pass and producing a clinical finish into the top-right corner.

And the deadline is broken at the brink of half-time! Atkinson is outmuscled by Lakrar and squares a cross into the box. Heather Payne attempts to clear the ball but it falls straight back to Lakrar, beating a flat-footed Amber Brosnan to make it 0-1 for the visitors.

Louise Quinn gets up well to clear a cross from six yards out that was destined for the head of the rising Le Sommer.

France are struggling to find their feet as they progress the ball into the latter thirds, an intricate passing move failing to materialise as Geyoro\'s heavy touch rolls out for an Irish goal-kick.

It seems that initial knock on Katie McCabe has grown in severity as the captain makes her way off the pitch to be replaced by Izzy Atkinson.

Courtney Brosnan gets off lightly with a serious lapse in judgement as she goes to collect a looping ball intended for Selme Bacha. Brosnan soon finds herself in no-mans-land and gets rounded by Bacha, the full back unable to find a forgiving enough angle as her shot from the left side of the box ripples Ireland's side netting.

Ireland have done a good job so far of maintaining a solid shape that has afforded France little to no space to operate in, Eugenie Le Sommer cutting a frustrated figure as the forward has been left isolated and yet to receive a sniff of the ball.

A bit of an injury scare for Ireland as Katie McCabe spent a few moments on the ground receiving medical attention but the captain looks to have been given the all clear by staff.

Carusa is hauled down by Estelle Cascarino as an Irish break began to form, referee Kirsty Dowlee showing Cascarino a yellow card.

Farrely gets high up from a goal-kick and flicks on Kyra Carusa who breaks through on goal. The flag is raised before Karusa slots the ball into the back of the net, but replays look to show Karusa was in fact on side!

A few minutes in and France have enjoyed the majority of possession and look to be trying to force play through the wings via Grace Geyoro and Kenza Dali.

And France get the action underway in Tallaght!

France come into the clash ranked fifth in the world. They have enjoyed a positive start to life since Hervé Renard's appointment as manager in March, taking two wins from two games.

The mood in the Irish camp has been undoubtedly dampened by manager Vera Pauw being thrust into the spotlight again regarding allegations of misconduct from her spell as Houston Dash manager between November 2017 and September 2018. A recent article published by The Athletic featured anonymous sources that included players and staff that claimed Pauw created a harmful culture during her time in Houston. Pauw vehemently denied these allegations at an FAI press conference: "I'm afraid it will follow me during my life and that has been the agenda,” she said. “Of course I have spoken to the leading [Ireland] players and they all said, they came individually to me and said they have my back. I have asked specifically if they have ever experienced anything. And they said no, never. “We have worked so hard to get there. They do everything to be ready.” Pauw has also been backed by captain Katie McCabe wo has acknowledged the timing of the article has taken a dent on the camp's mood: "I can't answer for each and every player. Of course Vera has a style of management that we're used to now over the last two years…She pushes me and I push her.” We know both of our hearts are in the right place in terms of what works best for the Ireland women’s national team going forward. And again, of course the article timing is not great but our full focus will be France tomorrow."

Ireland's last match came against Zambia two weeks ago, Amber Barret striking twice to mask the cracks of what was an otherwise shaky and unconvincing performance from the hosts. Katie McCabe and Denise O'Sullivan were both rested for the fixture and each return to the starting XI tonight, the squad expected to largely mirror that of the opening World Cup clash against Colombia in a fortnight.

Evening folks and welcome along to tonight's match coverage of Ireland vs France. The Girls in Green play their final friendly match before they jet off to Australia and embark on their first ever World Cup campaign.
