Earls in, O’Callaghan and Trimble out for Ireland

Declan Kidney has made one change to his side for Saturday’s 6 Nations clash with France in Paris.

Keith Earls is selected on the wing at the expense of Andrew Trimble who drops to the bench.

A vacancy has been left at blindside wing forward pending the fitness or otherwise of Stephen Ferris later this week.

Donncha O’Callaghan is again ruled out so Leo Cullen continues at second row, while Ronan O’Gara retains the number ten shirt.
