IT’S GAME TIME. France visit Dublin today in what will be the first RBS Six Nations game at the redeveloped Lansdowne Rd stadium.

Tomás O’Leary and Jamie Heaslip will be fit to line out despite missing yesterday’s captain’s run, according to coach Declan Kidney. Les Bleus arrived in the capital yesterday lunchtime and reported everyone fit.

“With Tomás, best practice is to just let him get ready for the game and that’s what we’re letting him do,” Kidney said yesterday.

Obviously when he hasn’t trained during the week you would have a bit (of worry). I’m very happy that he is good to go tomorrow but we have the contingency plan in place.

“Eoin (Reddan) is here, Peter (Stringer) is here. But I suppose you could do that right down throughout the team as well. Sod’s Law will always dictate it could be someone else.”

O’Leary is suffering from back trouble and Heaslip has suffered from an ankle for over a month. Skipper Brian O’Driscoll is keen to sample a championship atmosphere at the Aviva.

“When you’re not on the pitch you’re trying to make sure that you prepare yourself for when you do go on the pitch, whether it be for training or the match. Hopefully everyone is really looking forward to being back in the Aviva, being back to a packed house and a crowd ready to cheer us on,” he said.
