The Irish Schools will be seeking a third victory when they face France in Toulouse this evening, kick-off 5 p.m. Irish time.

There are three changes to the starting XV since last week's win over England; injured centre Tom Gleeson replaced by Fionn Carr, Jonathan Shortt coming onto the wing for Rory Drysdale and a fit-again Gary Walsh back at loosehead for Tony O'Kane.

Kevin Barden and Killian Lett have been called up to the bench.

Meanwhile, Bath coach John Connolly has agreed a new deal that will keep him at the Recreation Ground next season.

The Australian has helped transform Bath from English Premiership relegation candidates last term to league leaders this year and semi-finalists in the Challenge Cup.
