Six Nations 2019: how to watch France v Wales live on TV and online
The opening match of the 2019 Six Nations is live on the BBC this Friday 1st February
The 2019 Six Nations kicks off with a Friday night humdinger, with France taking on Wales under the lights at the Stade de France.
This is the beginning of the end of an era for Wales. Coach Warren Gatland is leaving the national side after the 2019 Rugby World Cup, making this his final Six Nations.
Since taking over as coach in 2007, Wales have won three Six Nations titles, including two Grand Slams – but they have not won the tournament since 2013.
In one of the most open Six Nations tournaments in recent memory, a win on the opening day is a must.
