Asked about how aware the coaches and players were to try and stop France from taking the bonus point, Townsend said: ‘We got the message on. ‘The effort to try and stop them getting that bonus point and it means we're equal points with France. It's who gets a bonus point out of that.’Townsend has never beaten Ireland in 11 attempts.
