France v Wales Six Nations 2021 match: Kick off time, TV channel, live stream and latest team news
Check out how to watch France v Wales live on TV this week, plus the latest team news, predictions and odds.
The show-stopping clash of Super Saturday takes place in Paris as Wales bear down on a Grand Slam victory against all the odds.
Wayne Pivac's men were not fancied going into the 2021 Six Nations tournament, but find themselves one victory over France away from securing the crown.
Narrow wins against Ireland and Scotland were followed up with crushing defeats of England and Italy. Now only France stand between them and glory.
However, if France seize a win here, the tournament remains up for grabs beyond Super Saturday. The French play Scotland in a rescheduled clash after the main tournament is over, and it could still be all to play for.

France v Wales prediction
France find themselves in a not too dissimilar position to the 2020 tournament, failing to really make the most of an opportunity presented to them.
They fell to Scotland last year, which ultimately killed their chances of victory, and this time around they have fallen to an England team who have underperformed in 2021.
Still, they remain in the hunt. The French crowd isn't the easiest to play in front of as the home side, so an empty stadium could prove to be a blessing in disguise. If they keep their cool, keep their discipline, they could break Welsh hearts this weekend.
Our France v Wales prediction: France win
