Wales vs France live stream: How to watch Six Nations fixture online and on TV
France will look to maintain their Six Nations Grand Slam assault when they face the formidable challenge of Wales inside the Principality Stadium.
Wales will look to bounce back from their disappointing defeat against Ireland last time out, with Wayne Pivac suffering his first defeat since replacing Warren Gatland, and the Kiwi has made two changes to his starting line-up.
Gareth Davies returns to scrum-half in place of Tomos Williams, while Ross Moriarty starts at flanker in place of Aaron Wainwright, with both dropping to the replacements’ bench where they are joined by debutant Will Rowlands. Both Dan Biggar and Josh Adams are fit to retain their place after overcoming injury this week.
France meanwhile are forced into a change with Vincent Rattez ruled out due to a broken leg, but the need to move Gael Fickou to the wing is eased by the return of fit-again centre Virimi Vakatawa.

Prediction
Wales 24-15 France: It will be the biggest test for this young French ide so far, and in the cauldron that is the Principality Stadium, they may just finally wilt. It doesn't help that their defensive captain Fickou has been shifted out to the wing, and with Biggar and Adams both fit to start, Wales should have too much for th visitors.
