France vs Wales Six Nations 2023 Live Stream: Preview
France absolutely humiliated England at Twickenham in the fourth round of the 2023 Six Nations, inflicting the heaviest home defeat on the hosts in over 150 years of English rugby history. Thomas Ramos ran in just three minutes in France’s first try, they were 10 points ahead after seven and led 27-3 at the break as Steve Borthwick’s side had no answers to the blue waves of attack. Freddie Steward pulled one back for England early in the second half, but that only seemed to spur the visitors on, with Flament, Ollivon and Penaud all contributing to a final score of 53-10.
Wales went to Rome last weekend and bounced back with their first win of the campaign, a result sure to boost confidence ahead of this meeting with France. Wales opened an early 10-point lead through an Owen Williams penalty and an 8th-minute attempt from Rio Dyer, and while Italy were able to stay in the game thanks to their own penalty, the hosts made too many mistakes in possession, leaving their opponents to withdraw and secure a deserved 29-17 victory. Warren Gatland made six changes to the side that lost to England, and this performance will not have hurt their chances of keeping their place in Paris.
France vs Wales starts at 2:45pm GMT / 10:45am EST, Saturday 18 March, at the Stade de France. Make sure you know how watch a live stream anywhere between France and Wales.
