Ireland coach Declan Kidney has named an unchanged side for Sunday's Six Nations trip to France.
That means Conor Murray has retained his place at scrum-half despite speculation that Eoin Reddan would be handed the role.
Donncha O'Callaghan and Sean O'Brien have also been declared fit to start in Paris.
Ireland team to play France: R Kearney; T Bowe, K Earls, G D'Arcy, A Trimble; J Sexton, C Murray; C Healy, R Best, M Ross, D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell, S Ferris, S O'Brien, J Heaslip
