How to watch Ireland vs France for FREE: TV channel and live stream for Six Nations rugby today

Ireland host France in the Six Nations this afternoon in a game that has all the hallmarks of a potential classic.

The two best international rugby sides in the world go head to head in what already has the feel of a title decider, despite it being just the second weekend of action.

Ireland have lost only once in Dublin since the 2019 World Cup, and that was to France, but they sit top of the world rankings after a superb 2022 in which they beat New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.

There was a blip in Paris though, as France edged them out on their way to Grand Slam glory a year ago. Les Blues were far from convincing last week as they just about beat Italy, but much more is expected here.

Andy Farrell’s side by contrast proved far too good for Wales, and they go into this highly-anticipated clash as slight favourites.
