Ireland boss Andy Farrell says the Irish fans are 'the best in the world' when there's a big game like this weekend's clash with France:
ANDY FARRELL KEEPS on adding achievements to his CV and now he goes after another huge milestone this weekend in Dublin.
To do it, they have to beat France for the first time. Farrell has tasted defeat in his three outings against les Bleus with Ireland so far. “We got ourselves back into the game and had a chance of winning, so being ourselves from the start would help.” Sexton passed a HIA in Cardiff on Saturday and Farrell said the out-half’s “slight dead leg” should be fine for this weekend.
Sexton would relish leading Ireland into this massive battle. Remember that the visit to Paris in 2020 was a deeply frustrating one for him, the Ireland captain exiting the pitch shaking his head after being replaced by Byrne.
