Ireland host France this afternoon as they look to bounce back from last weekend's disappointing defeat to Wales.
Their task in Cardiff was made harder when Peter O'Mahony was sent off in the 14th minute for a high challenge on Tomas Francis and they went on to lose 21-16.
Meanwhile, France began their Six Nations campaign with a comfortable 50-10 win against Italy in Rome.
Ireland are without a number of key men for the game, including Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray and James Ryan.

Quotes corner
Ireland coach Andy Farrell: “We’ve obviously lost a few experienced players during the week but that is another man’s opportunity and the squad are all excited and united for the challenge at the weekend.
“It’s why you do these things. You try and have your fingers crossed along the way and things don’t quite go as you want from time to time.
“But that is why you give people the chance at international rugby and the squad is coming into play.”
“It has been challenging but these weeks are always challenging. We are a squad and we have been a squad since we met up and everyone swapping in and out.
“You always have what ifs in the back of your mind, and here we are.“
