Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has made one change to his starting 15 for Saturday's Six Nations game away to France.

Robbie Henshaw replaces the injured Garry Ringrose, as he did during last week's win over Italy at the Aviva Stadium.

Cian Healy will win his 100th cap in Paris and the centurion will be joined in the front row once again by Rob Herring and Andrew Porter.

James Ryan and Tadgh Beirne continue in the second row, while Caelan Doris, Will Connors and CJ Stander complete the pack.

Henshaw will partner Bundee Aki outside Ireland’s captain Jonathan Sexton and scrum half Conor Murray.

Hugo Keenan will be hoping to add to his debut brace of tries in an unchanged back three alongside Jacob Stockdale and Andrew Conway.

Chris Farrell comes into the replacements alongside Dave Heffernan, Ed Byrne, Finlay Bealham, Ultan Dillane, Peter O’Mahony, Jamison Gibson Park and Ross Byrne.
