Toner and Reilly face hot reception in France

The Royal County duo of Devin Toner and Marie Louise Reilly will be involved with Irish rugby teams as they go in search of glory in France over the weekend.

Both the men's and the women's teams face big challenges if they are to dig out victories.

This evening Reilly will take up her customary lock forward position on the Irish side that faces France in the Stade du Hameau in Pau.

The Irish team must defeat the French by at least 20 points if they are to retain their Six Nations crown with the home side looking to complete a Grand Slam.

The game kicks off at 5.45 Irish time and is live on RTE Two.

Tomorrow at 5.0 Irish time Joe Schmidt sends his team out looking for a win over a French side that has faced a barrage of criticism following a lacklustre display against Scotland last week.   

Toner has been an ever-present on teams selected by Schmidt since the Kiwi took over as coach.
