France have won each of their last three meetings with Ireland, this after winning just one of their previous nine Test encounters (D2 L6); each of their last three meetings have been decided by single figure margins.

France won on their last trip to Dublin in the Guinness Six Nations (15-13 in 2021), however only once have they won back-to-back games in the Irish capital, doing so in 2005 and 2007; France have won away to Ireland in the Five or Six Nations in six of the previous nine Rugby World Cup years (1987, 1991, 1995, 1999, 2007, 2011).
