(Reuters) - France's 30-24 triumph over Ireland in Paris put them firmly on course for Six Nations success, but scrumhalf Antoine Dupont dismissed talk of a potential Grand Slam, saying the team were wary of Scotland after costly defeats in previous editions.

It was a second home win in a row for France, who beat Italy in their opening game and are now the only side that could complete this season's Grand Slam.
