Ireland wing James Lowe says it will be “a different French beast” that faces the Irish in what some are already billing as the Six Nations title decider in Dublin on Saturday.
New Zealand-born Lowe, 30, said France were an awesome unit, reflected by a record 14-match winning streak.“Their 9-10 combo is pretty scary, their back row is world class, they have a midfield that’s pretty dangerous and a back three that would put the shivers up most teams. Veteran prop Dave Kilcoyne says the Irish need to front up in the scrum better than they did when losing in Paris last year.
“We think we’re fitter. If we can get around them, work around into holes and hopefully get a couple of weak shoulders and stay on top of them. It sounds very easy to do but obviously teams struggle to do it.”
