Andy Farrell has announced the squad that will travel to Paris today to take on France in Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations round 2 fixture in St Denis (4.45pm Ireland/5.45pm France).

Munster trio Tadhg Beirne, Joey Carbery and Andrew Conway start the clash with Conor Murray and Peter O’Mahony among the replacements.

Ireland captain Johnny Sexton has been ruled out with a hamstring strain sustained in training yesterday. Carbery starts at out-half and is partnered by Jamison Gibson Park at half-back. The centre partnership of Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose continues in midfield.

The back three is made up of Hugo Keenan at fullback, with Mack Hansen and Andrew Conway on the wings.

James Ryan will captain the side and is joined at lock by Tadhg Beirne.  The backrow sees Caelan Doris at six, Josh van der Flier at seven and Jack Conan at No.8 with Andrew Porter, Ronan Kelleher and Tadhg Furlong completing the front row.

Iain Henderson, Robbie Henshaw and Jack Carty are added to the replacements for this week joining Dan Sheehan, Cian Healy, Finlay Bealham, Peter O’Mahony and Conor Murray.

Ireland v France will be televised live by VIRGIN (ROI) and ITV (NI).
