Wales v France Live Kickoff time TV details and match updates from Six Nations
Wayne Pivac's Wales side face Grand Slam-chasing Les Bleus at the Principality Stadium in a controversial Friday night fixture

Wales face a Grand Slam-chasing France tonight at the Principality Stadium, coming up against the team who ended their own clean sweep chances at the 11th hour in the last Six Nations.

Wayne Pivac's men go in search of their second win of the tournament, having beat Scotland but lost to Ireland and England, while Les Bleus have conquered everyone in their path so far - Italy, Ireland and Scotland - before a finale against England next weekend.

Kick-off time is 8pm and Wales v France is being broadcast live on BBC One and S4C.

A big talking point ahead of the game has been the attendance, with up to 10,000 seats set to be empty amid the return of Friday night Six Nations rugby to Cardiff. Read more on the reasons why here.

Pivac has made four changes to the side which lost 23-19 at Twickenham: Jonathan Davies comes in for Nick Tompkins who is ruled out with concussion from Saracens duty, Gareth Thomas starts ahead of Wyn Jones and Josh Navidi and Seb Davies come into the back-row in place of Taine Basham and Ross Moriarty.
