Welcome to the live coverage of this afternoon’s clash between France and Ireland. James Stafford here. I'll be taking you through the game today. You can ping me on Twitter via @jpstafford if you have any thoughts, views, insight or ravings. Ireland travel to Paris without the fear that used to accompany them there. For decades Ireland couldn’t buy a win in Paris. But the one sided nature of this fixture has changed now. Ireland are going into this game with three wins and two draws in the last five match ups. But Joe Schmidt’s men, already suffering from a batch of injuries, took a battering in their draw against Wales six days ago. France meanwhile, have another new look to them. New man at the helm Guy Noves has made six changes to the side fortunate to beat Italy last week. Which doesn’t bode well for continuity.
