McNamara wary of ‘massive challenge’ from France

Ireland U20 head coach Noel McNamara has moved to dismiss the notion that France’s erratic away form gives his side the upper hand for tonight’s Six Nations showdown at Musgrave Park (kick-off 7.15pm).

The Charlie Ryan-led Irish remain in the hunt for top honours in this year’s tournament and will also be aiming for a fourth consecutive home success over Les Bleus at this grade.
