Sexton fit for Irish which indicates that Joe Schmidt is going to take a risk and go all out to win the game and take that next step in setting up that Dublin Six Nations decider against England.
France have been forced to make a couple of changes after the Battle of Paris against Scotland a couple of weeks ago losing a back row and winger to injury. Anyone who thinks the Six Nations could be held over five weeks is an idiot or English (with their strength in depth).
France need to kick their goals and force Ireland into making lots of tackles in first 60 mins so their stronger bench has to come on earlier than planned. But if Ireland can win quick ball against the 900+ kg French pack then experience in back row/half back and home advantage should see them win by a score.
