Galthie not thinking of France's Six Nations chances despite Ireland win

France head coach Fabien Galthie said he is not thinking about winning the Six Nations despite Saturday's impressive 30-24 victory over Ireland.

Les Bleus went three points clear at the top of the table after backing up last weekend's success over Italy.

They next face Scotland in Edinburgh on 26 February, a city where they've won just once since 2014.

"Firstly we want to take time and enjoy this victory," Galthie told reporters.

"We have a little break of two weeks before going to Scotland.

"We appreciated the victory over Italy, but this one does a lot of good for us, the players and rewards their and the coaches' efforts," he added.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell said France are now the leading contenders for tournament, which they last won in 2010.

"The competition is slightly in France's favour," said Farrell.

"The competition's just getting going. We'll lick our wounds from a fighting, spirited performance and learn the lessons."

The fixture had been a sell-out since last autumn and the atmosphere in Paris was taken up a notch pre-match with tricolour flags handed out amongst the 79,115 fans in the crowd.

Ireland were without captain Johnny Sexton due to a hamstring strain with the 36-year-old replaced by Joey Carbery, making his maiden Six Nations start after coming off the bench in last weekend's victory over Wales.

Galthie handed a first run-on appearance to 21-year-old centre Yoram Moefana, replacing Jonathan Danty with the La Rochelle midfielder sustaining an ankle issue in Sunday's win over Italy.

The raucous atmosphere in the stands was replicated on the field as the hosts led after just 80 seconds when home captain Dupont slid over after a break from his half-back partner Romain Ntamack.
