CARDIFF (Reuters) - Past results and quarter-final match-ups will mean nothing to France when Les Bleus take on Ireland in Sunday's blockbuster Rugby World Cup Pool D decider, skipper Thierry Dusautoir said.

France have not beaten Ireland in four years but have prevailed in all three of the previous World Cup encounters between the two countries.
