Wales v France Live: Women's Six Nations kick-off time, team news and live updates

Wales host France in the fourth round of the Women’s Six Nations this evening as the visitors bid to keep their Grand Slam hopes alive.

The French have beaten Ireland, Italy and Scotland so far in this championship - with a potential title decider against England to follow their clash with Wales in Cardiff. However, Ioan Cunningham's side will be looking to dent the French's hopes and bounce back from defeat to the English last time out.

Before the heavy defeat to England, Wales had won both of their opening matches against Ireland and Scotland. Defeat to their nearest rivals, given how England have become such a dominant force in the sport, was always expected in truth, but a clash with France might offer a better reading of how far this Welsh side have come in the short time since several members of the squad went professional.

France have won 53-0 and 50-0 in the past two seasons. Cunningham has made five changes from the England match to ensure that doesn't happen again, with Elinor Snowsill, Keira Bevan, Cerys Hale, Natalia John and Bethan Lewis coming into the starting XV.
