Rory Best rues Ireland mistakes

Rory Best has said that Ireland must cut down on mistakes if they are to triumph against France in Paris on Sunday.

The hooker has been named in Ireland's unchanged starting side following their 42-10 win over Italy last weekend.

"We'll have to cut out the mistakes if we are to beat France," Best said.

"Too many times in recent years the game has been over after 20 minutes, though we've always fought back well.

"We want to go there and impose our game plan, avoid making any silly mistakes and take the chances we create."

Ireland have not won at the Stade de France since 2000.
