Quotes corner

Ireland boss Andy Farrell on the Wales defeat and the need to bounce back...

"I was saying to the lads that they'll feel sorry for themselves for a couple of hours and bring the best versions of themselves into work tomorrow because there's a lot of us in the group that have been involved in enough Six Nations to know that a Six Nations is not won on the first day.

"From here on in we have to be more clinical and give the performances of our lives to be in the battle to win the competition, it's as simple as that.

"We have a very good French side coming over next week to the Aviva, and we'll be back ourselves against anyone there."

Betting odds

Ireland win 7/5

France win 8/13

Draw 16/1
