France, on the other hand, are looking to continue their impressive start to the campaign after outclassing Italy in Rome.
And Farrell believes Burns and Gibson-Park – who have amassed a combined 10 Ireland caps since debuting under Farrell in 2020 – can take inspiration from the impressive development of France’s rising international stars, including Antoine Dupont, Arthur Vincent and Dylan Cretin, all of whom scored in the seven-try rout of the Azzurri.
“Those young lads that have come into the French side have taken their chance and now they are becoming more experienced as they go,” added Farrell.
“We’re playing at home and we love playing at home, and there’s no better opponent really than the team you guys (the media) are tipping as favourites.
“Why would we not get excited about that? They are raring to go, every single one of them that has been selected.”
