France v Wales, Six Nations 2023: What time is kick-off, what TV channel is it on?
France host Wales in the final round of Six Nations matches, with Fabien Galthié’s side still hoping to retain the title thay won last year.
However, in order for France to become the first country since England in 2017 to retain the title, they must secure a try-bonus point win and hope Ireland lose without a bonus-point against Steve Borthwick’s side at the Aviva Stadium.
Elsewhere, Scotland host Italy in the first of the three matches on what is being dubbed ‘Super Saturday’.
When and where is France v Wales?
This second match of the weekend – to be played at the Stade de France in Paris – will kick-off at 2.45pm (GMT) today.
The other games in the fifth and final round of matches of the Six Nations campaign are Scotland v Italy at 12.30pm, also today, and Ireland v England later at 5pm.
What TV channel is France v Wales on?
This is an ITV fixture. For UK TV viewers it will be live on ITV 1 or on ITVX, STV or STV Player. The coverage will begin at 1.55pm GMT. ITV’s Six Nations pundits for 2023 include Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Sir Clive Woodward, Maggie Alphonsi and Brian O’Driscoll. Former Wales captain Gareth Thomas is also on the books.
Who is the referee?
A former half-back who played for Queensland Reds and Racing Métro before joining Wasps, Australian Nic Berry made the seamless switch to refereeing following his retirement. Found himself at the centre of a controversy after Rassie Erasmus questioned his integrity in 2019, before later going on to officiate at that year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan.
Referee: Nic Berry (RA)
Assistant Referee 1: Andrew Brace (IRFU)
Assistant Referee 2: Christophe Ridley (RFU)

What happened in this fixture in 2022?
France took a huge step towards claiming the Grand Slam after producing a defensive masterclass in Cardiff, thanks largely to the work done by defence coach Shaun Edwards. Having previously been on the Wales payroll, Englishman Edwards returned to the Principality Stadium where his charges stymied wave after wave of Welsh running. Anthony Jelonch, in the end, made the difference finishing off a sensational team try that ultimately secured a 9-13 win.

What is our prediction
Warren Gatland has avoided the wooden spoon but now faces a very tricky finale. France looked fired-up at Twickenham and will want to back up that performance in their final competitive fixture before a home World Cup.
