Ireland should go into Stade de France on Saturday night without fear for their potential Guinness Six Nations title decider with Les Bleus, Simon Easterby said.

The Irish top the standings heading into the final weekend and a Super Saturday raft of games knowing a first bonus-point championship win in France will guarantee the title.
