The France squad to face Ireland in Sunday’s Rugby World Cup Pool D match at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff has been named.
The winner of the fixture is likely to face Argentina in a quarter-final on Sunday, 18th October, also in the Millennium Stadium, unless Tonga record a shock bonus point win over New Zealand and Argentina come away from their game with Namibia with no points.
Ireland are undefeated in their last four meetings with France, and a win or draw will be enough for them to progress as pool winners.
