VOTE: Who would you pick in a combined France-Ireland XV

A confident but cautious Ireland open their campaign against inexperienced France in Paris on Saturday.

With the exception of Sean O'Brien, Ireland are close to full strength for their Six Nation's opener against France in Paris.

Joe Schmidt's side travel as favourites, boosted by the Champions Cup form of Leinster and Munster, the experience of key players used to winning, and some real flair.

By contrast, France arrive onto this fixture with no form, a new coach and a 19-year old fly-half in Matthieu Jalibert who only made his top 14 debut three months ago.

Despite this, France have undoubted quality in scrum-half Maxime Machenaud and hooker, Guilhem Guirado.

Here are the confirmed starting XV's for both sides ahead of Saturday's Test:

France: 15 Geoffrey Palis, 14 Teddy Thomas, 13 Remi Lamerat, 12 Henry Chavancy, 11 Virimi Vakatawa, 10 Matthieu Jalibert, 9 Maxime Machenaud, 1 Jefferson Poirot, 2 Guilhem Guirado (c), 3 Rabah Slimani, 4 Arthur Iturria, 5 Sebastien Vahaamahina, 6 Wenceslas Lauret, 7 Yacouba Camara, 8 Kevin Gourdon.

Ireland: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Keith Earls, 13 Robbie Henshaw, 12 Bundee Aki, 11 Jacob Stockdale, 10 Johnny Sexton, 9 Conor Murray; 1 Cian Healy, 2 Rory Best (c), 3 Tadhg Furlong, 4 Iain Henderson, 5 James Ryan, 6 Peter O'Mahony, 7 Josh van der Flier, 8 CJ Stander.
