DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland will travel to France with a full bill of health as they seek the victory that would almost certainly make them Six Nations champions and end Brian O'Driscoll's international career on a high.

After recovering from a narrow 13-10 defeat by England with a 46-7 thrashing of Italy, Ireland go to Paris with three wins and a +81 points difference, meaning any sort of victory for Joe Schmidt's team will likely bring their second title in 29 years.
