DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland's Six Nations destiny is in their own hands after a battling 19-9 win over France on Saturday, coach Joe Schmidt said.

Despite losing their first match to Scotland, Ireland went top of the standings with 10 points, buoyed by a two bonus-point advantage over England who won their first two games in the tournament.
