DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland must make performing well against France their primary focus for Saturday’s decisive Six Nations clash and forget about the permutations that could see them crowned champions, captain Johnny Sexton said on Tuesday.

A bonus point win over France in Paris would secure the title for the Irish, but the French are also in the running while England look best placed as they go to Rome to take on bottom-placed Italy.
