Ireland vs France Six Nations 2023 live stream: Preview
Arguably the pick of this season's Six Nations fixtures sees defending champs France take on bookies favourites Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.
Andy Farrell's Boys In Green made a commanding start to this year's tournament last weekend when they brushed aside Wales in their opening game, winning 34-10 in Cardiff.
That result came at a cost, however, with influential hooker Dan Sheehan picking up a hamstring injury which rules him out of this potentially pivotal game and adding to an sidelined list that also includes Robbie Henshaw, Tadhg Furlong and Jamison Gibson-Park.
Ulster hooker Rob Herring will start in place of the in-form Sheehan for the Irish, while the fit-again Rónan Kelleher his named on the bench.
Les Bleus looked somewhat less assured as they laboured to an unconvincing 29-24 victory over Italy in their opening match.
Despite that disappointing display, head coach Fabien Galthié has kept faith with the lineup which started in Rome for this crucial showdown.
Ireland vs France kicks off at 2.15pm GMT / 9.15am EST today, Saturday 11th February, at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Make sure you know how to watch a Ireland vs France Six Nations 2023 live stream.
