Peter O'Mahony says Ireland are not out to prove a point in Friday's Six Nations opener against France.
Ireland are playing for the first time since a disappointing World Cup quarter-final exit.
But 34-year-old O'Mahony, who has taken over from retired Johnny Sexton as captain, says Ireland are fully focused on the road ahead.
"Performance is paramount for every Test match," the Munster flanker said on the eve of the France match.
Expanding on Ireland moving past another World Cup knockout defeat by New Zealand, O'Mahony added: "We're not trying to prove a point to ourselves about what happened.
"We're trying to prove to ourselves in performance, where the scene is at, where we want to go, setting up momentum.
"It's not about putting things right or whatever. It's about a Test match tomorrow night. That's what the occasion is, it's the most important thing for us.
"And performance is absolutely paramount. That's what everyone is here to do, be the best version of themselves. That's what we're trying to do for Ireland."
