Once again, the biggest match of the Six Nations looks set to be Ireland pitted against France, with Dublin ready to rock during this early title-shaping encounter.

Ireland produced a dominant show of force to hammer Wales 34-10 in Cardiff on Warren Gatland’s return.

Coach Andy Farrell will believe his men are favourites to go all the way this year following huge results since the last Six Nations, but their ambitions will be greatly tested in this one.

France avoided a humiliating opening weekend defeat to Italy thanks to a late Matthieu Jalibert try. Les Bleus have extended their winning run to 14 matches in the lead-up to this one.

Fabien Galthie will be determined to keep his men focused on the trip to Ireland. They conceded 18 penalties last weekend and a similar number here would surely see Ireland dominate proceedings in this crucial showdown.
