Wales have won five of their last 12 visits to Paris, more than any other team in the Six Nations. The last time France and Wales met in the opening round was 2019. Wales won 24-19 and went on to complete the Grand Slam. Since that match France have won 21 of 23 Test matches at the Stade de France.

Superstar scrumhalf Antoine Dupont has set up three tries and France has overwhelmed Wales 43-0 in an impressive Six Nations opener in Paris.

The Six Nations begins at the Stade de France, where the favourites will oblige but perhaps after a slower-than-expected start. Jon Newcombe previews France vs Wales.
