Andy Farrell says that home advantage has to be a "weapon" for Ireland against France as he believes the Six Nations clash is the one that Ireland fans have been waiting for.
Last year in Paris, a lot of the Ireland players were blown away by the cauldron-like atmosphere created by France supporters at the Stade de France.
Speaking at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon after his team announcement for the fixture, the Ireland boss smiled in anticipation of the atmosphere that will be generated on Lansdowne Road on Saturday.
