WHETHER IT WAS Brian O’Driscoll’s sensational hat-trick at the Stade de France in 2000 or Vincent Clerc breaking home fans’ hearts in the historic meeting at Croke Park, Ireland have played out some entertaining fixtures with Les Bleus over the years.
Having suffered a disappointing defeat to Wales on the opening weekend, Andy Farrell’s men will welcome the French to an empty Aviva Stadium this Sunday afternoon.
