Ireland must be better for Grand Slam - Easterby



Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby says his side's preparations will be "no different" for the crunch game against France as they moved closer to a Six Nations Grand Slam with victory in Wales.

The back-to-back champions are three from three in this year's championship and secured the Triple Crown with victory in Cardiff on Saturday.

They sit top of the table and are three points ahead of France, who they meet in Dublin on 8 March.

"We can't control what goes on outside so we'll just focus on trying to get better, and I know that sounds like a party line, but it's just the way the group are," said Easterby.

"It's no different each week. We know there's something special at the end of this Six Nations but it won't be if we don't prepare well and get ourselves in the prime space to prepare against France."
