Bergamasco warning for Irish forwards

ITALIAN hard-man Mauro Bergamasco believes the Irish pack will face a searching examination in Paris on Saturday.

Bergamasco heaped praised on his forwards and expects Eddie O’Sullivan’s front line men to face another testing physical test against the champions in six days.

And he is well aware of the French pack’s potential given his weekly experience in the Top 14 with Stade Francais.
