Rob Kearney has declared the upcoming Guinness Six Nations to be a two-horse race between France and Ireland with the latter’s trip to Paris in round two already emerging as the game that could be key.

“Both teams are playing so well at the moment and are unlikely to have too many slip-ups,” said the former full-back who will be offering his insights as a pundit on Virgin Media’s coverage of the tournament over the coming weeks.
