No changes for France

Les Bleus beat Italy 30-12 in Paris in their Six Nations opener, running in four tries and Saint-Andre has opted to keep faith with the same men for the mouth-watering clash with the Irish.

"There were hesitations on one or two players but we thought we needed to work together and get bearings," Saint-Andre said.

"We need to be more precise. We've already turned our sights towards Ireland."
