Jack Crowley, Calvin Nash and Joe McCarthy will all start against France on Friday night as Andy Farrell looks to deliver a Guinness Six Nations victory in Marseille he believes would rank as one of Ireland’s greatest.

The 2023 Grand Slam winners will be without midfield linchpin Garry Ringrose who left the squad with a shoulder injury on Wednesday as Ireland flew to the south of France for the championship opener at Stade Velodrome.
