Watch Wales vs France live stream
It’s been a Six Nations to forget for both Wales and France who will meet today in Cardiff. The hosts have yet to win a game in this year’s championship and the visitors arrive having narrowly avoided a horror result at home to Italy and salvaged a draw.
It's the final match in round four and after Italy's victory over Scotland, today's clash is a basement battle. Both teams have rung the changes and will be desperate for a victory so expect a fierce battle under the roof at the Principality Stadium.
Today's Wales vs France is free to watch on BBC in the UK and RTÉ in Ireland. Peacock TV and DAZN are the live streamers in the USA and Canada respectively. Down Under, it's Stan Sport in Australia and Sky Sport in New Zealand. And you can use a VPN to watch your chosen stream from wherever you are in the world.

Wales vs France live stream: Preview
The Principality Stadium in Cardiff plays host to this fourth round game of the 2023 Six Nations. The start time is 3pm GMT / 10am ET / 7am PT / (Sunday 10th March), which is 2am AEDT in Australia on Monday morning.
An awful lot has changed in the last few years for Wales who look a shadow of the side that won the Six Nations back in 2021. Having lost a host of star names, coach Warren Gatland has had to rely on youth and inexperience. His plucky young side have delivered moments of magic, especially in the second half against Scotland, but have been on the end of three consecutive defeats.
Despite having now lost 10 of their last 11 Six Nations games, there have been some positives. Number eight Aaron Wainwright has delivered some encouraging performances while full-back Cameron Winnett looks like a star in the making. Wales will need both to be on top of their game and for the rest of the side to keep their discipline if they hope to defeat France.
Last year France hammered Wales in Paris as they secured a 41-28 victory, but Les Bleus have struggled without their talismanic captain Antoine Dupont. They suffered a heavy home loss to Ireland before sneaking a controversial win over Scotland and sawing with Italy.
Coach Fabien Galthié has been urged to ring the changes for the clash in Cardiff and could hand a start to 21-year-old Nicolas Depoortere who has scored seven tries for Bordeaux-Begles this season. With fly-half Matthieu Jalibert out injured, Thomas Ramos is expected to take his place which could provide an opportunity for Leo Barre expected to make his Test debut.
Here's how they will line up
Wales XV: Winnett; Adams, Roberts, Watkin, Dyer; Costelow, Tomos Williams; Thomas, Elias, Assiratti, Rowlands, Beard, D Jenkins (capt), Reffell, Wainwright.
Replacements: Dee, Domachowski, Lewis, Martin, Mann, Davies, Lloyd, Grady.
France XV: Barre; Penaud, Fickou, Depoortere, Bielle-Biarrey; Ramos, Le Garrc; Baille, Marchand, Atonio, Flament, Meafou, Cros, Ollivon, Alldritt (capt).
Replacements: Mauvaka, S Taofifenua, Colombe, R Taofifenua, Roumat, Boudehent, Lucu, Moefana.
