The welcome London Irish to Stade Yves Du Manoir and Berbizier knows his side face a talent Exiles side even though they themselves are yet to record a victory.
"We have had some difficulties and we need to refresh and focus on ourselves," he said.
"We need to find the way we play and put in a decent performance.
"We are going to play against a team which plays an ambitious style of rugby with a high level of intensity"
"And we go into the game knowing we need to put in a good performance."
