DUBLIN (Reuters) - Powerful loose forward CJ Stander has been restored to the Ireland lineup for Sunday's Six Nations clash at home to France, one of six changes to the pack by coach Joe Schmidt.

Stander missed Ireland’s last two matches with a facial injury, but will beef up the back of the scrum alongside Josh van der Flier and Peter O'Mahony.
